I perfectly understand. I'm still using Word 2003 for production work,
although I also have Word 2007 on my desktop system (primarily for answering
such questions as yours), but I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and
have installed only Office 2007 on that, so I'm hoping to be committed to
using it more and learning it better. In addition, my husband took the
plunge (primarily to get the PDF add-in), and I am expected to provide tech
support for him as well, so I guess I'll be forced to get better acquainted
with Word 2007 (mostly I'm hearing his moans about Excel 2007, which I
haven't ventured into at all).

Thanks Suzanne.
I think it will take me a while to find my way around in Word 2007. You
were always such a help when I started on 2003 all those years ago and I
am sure I shall be submitting lots of questions again now!
I have stuck with 2003 and become quite proficient but decided, finally,
that I must move with the times. I have only just installed Windows 7 so I
am trying to get to grips with that and Office 2007 at the same time.
Thanks to all the other folks who patiently answer our questions too.

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?
