Transfering templates and macros to 2007
Hi,
I am just starting to use Word 2007. In Word 2003 I had made some of my own templates and macros. Is there a way to transfer them to Word 2007? Thanks in advance for advice. Dan S |

Dan S Just open a 2003 template in Word 2007; then click the Office button and choose Convert. Save the template as a .dotx template (if it doesn't contain macros) or a .dotm template (if it does have macros). There won't be any problem with styles or formatting in the templates. Whether the macros need changes depends on what they do. Most simple macros won't have any problems, but you'll need to test and probably rewrite ones that deal with custom toolbars and menu entries, AutoText, and some options. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
