Copying macros, keybord shortcuts, icons from 2000 to 2007?
Just installed 2007 on new computers. Had been using 2000.
I had 8-10 fairly simple macros. What the best way to get them over to Word 2007 on the new computers? Both PCs are networked. Should I open the VBA editor on 2000, paste the macro text into a shared file, then open the VBA editor on the 2007 PC, and copy-and-paste the macro text into that editor? Some were assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Do I just reassign those manually? I had defined 4-5 custom toolbar icons such a adding "..." to the New, Save, and Print icons to get them to open up their dialog boxes. How can I copy those custom icons over? Thanks |

One way to do this is just copy them into the Word 2007 VBA editor. I wasn't sure this would work, but it seems to. On the word 2000 computer: 1. Open the VBA editor (A+F11). 4. Open a blank document (Word or Notepad). 5. Paste the VBA text into the document (C+V). 6. Save it on a shared disk (or floppy) or send it to the other computer via email. On the Word 2007 computer: 1. Open the VBA editor (A+F11). 2. Open the shared docuent with the VBA text. 3. Select everything (C+A). 4. Copy to clipboard (C+C). 5. Paste the VBA text into the VBA editor (C+V). 6. Close. The macros should be available. Some were assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Do I just reassign those manually? I found a little tutorial that provides a step-by-step guide: http://wordprocessing.about.com/od/m...007shortcu.htm I had defined 4-5 custom toolbar icons such a adding "..." to the New, Save, and Print icons to get them to open up their dialog boxes. How can I copy those custom icons over? This is the only one I haven't figured out yet. Any help would be appreciated. -- Office 2007 Pro on WinXP |
