Default 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:

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.
