Transferring MACROs from WORD 2000 to WORD 2007
I have a very large set of MACROs written in WORD 2000.
Is is possible to migrate these MACROs to WORD 2007? Thank you for your help. |

Transferring MACROs from WORD 2000 to WORD 2007
Hi ATK31,
For the most part, your macros should run OK. However any code using: .. calls to menus/toolbars .. Application.Filesearch .. Sendkeys is liable to fail. Application.Filesearch isn't supported by Office 2007 and Sendkeys isn't supported by Vista. There may be other 'gotchas' too, but I haven't encountered them - yet. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "ATK31" wrote in message ... I have a very large set of MACROs written in WORD 2000.

Transferring MACROs from WORD 2000 to WORD 2007
Hi Macropod,
Thank you for your prompt response. Could you please point out to a reference that specifies the procedure for transferring MACROs? In WORD 2000, I can get the MACROs code from TOOLS -- MACROS -- EDIT and then copy the code for all MACROs. I can get the shortcuts applicable to these MACROs from TOOLS Ã* CUSTOMIZE -- KEYBOARD. What do I do next? Is there a method to transfer the entire set up of WORD (MACROs, CUSTOMIZE, OPTIONS, shortcuts) from WORD 2000 to WORD 2007 so that one can use the familiar environment? Thank you for your help. "macropod" wrote: Hi ATK31, For the most part, your macros should run OK. However any code using: .. calls to menus/toolbars .. Application.Filesearch ..

Are all the macros and shortcuts stored in your Normal.dot template or another
template (.dot file)? If so, simply copy it to a different file name and store it in the Word startup folder (usually %appdata%\Microsoft\Word\Startup) for Word 2007. The macros will all be available in any document. I think the keyboard shortcuts will come along too, but you may have to reassign them. -- 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.
