Migrate Word/Office 2000 Macros into Office 2007

R

Rick

I am currently using Office 2000 P.E. and I have a lot of Word macros in VBA
code. Is there is a way to (globally?) migrate these macros into Office/Word
2007 during or after the upgrade? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi, Rick,

Assuming your macros are in your normal.dot, this may help.

With credit to Patrick Schmid:

"In terms of upgrading your macros. You should find the file normal.dotm
and delete it. Then make sure that your old normal.dot is in the
directory where you found normal.dotm and open Word again. That should
upgrade your macros. Normal.dotm is the successor of normal.dot for Word
2007. You prob. will have to look at each of your macros individually to
check keyboard shortcuts in 2007. In the Office button menu, click Word
options, Personalize tab, and check the box next to the Developer tab
option. Then you have the Developer tab in your ribbon where you can get
to your macros easily. Keyboard shortcuts for Word are controlled via
Word Options, Customization, Keyboard shortcuts. "

If this doesn't meet your needs, I'd suggest that you post this to one of
the Word groups (if you haven't already). There are some really good macro
gurus who hang out there, rather than in the officeupdate group.
