Default My 2003 templates in Word 2007

By default the startup folder is a hidden file that can be located by typing
(or copying)
%appdata%\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP
into the address window of Windows Explorer or your browser.

Sorry, but could you tell me where to find this in Office 2007. The only
startup folder I can find is Office12 | STARTUP. Is this the one for
Word?

Copy the template holding the macros into the Word Startup folder. They
will then be globally available.

I don't have Word 2003 on my laptop now - just on my PC which, at the
moment, is still running XP. I do have my templates available, however,
so I guess I can use these.

Is is possible to somehow bring over my macros - I have recorded many
over the years to simplify tasks in Word 2003. I didn't save most of
them in Normal.dot but in a separate template.

If you still have Word 2003 installed, you can transfer you custom
toolbar (sort of) to Word 2007. See
http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm. You can have a
customized QAT for a given template as well.

I have just installed Word 2007 but would like to use all my
personalized templates from Word 2003.

I also had a customized toolbar in 2003 which I would like to bring
across. This toolbar always opened along with Word. It included
buttons for all the regularly used items, e.g. Open, Save, View Header
and Footer and, most useful, a button to open a document based on a
particular template.

Is this possible, please?
