Convert normal.dot in W2000 to normal.dotm in W2007
Hi ?B?V2h5IGRpZCBJIHVwZGF0ZQ==?=,
Having built a Word 2000 normal.dot containing many little macros & auto inserts etc over many years, I want to transfer its contents to normal.dotm for use in Word 2007. Is there a way? It should work to open it in Word 2007, then do Save As to the *.dotm file format. But be careful to make a back-up copy, first, "just in case". What I might do, given that it's always better to start with a "clean" copy of the Normal template is to - Open Normal.dot (or start Word 2000, if you still have it around) - Alt+F11 to open the VB Editor. Select each Module in the Normal project and use File/Export with it. This will write the macros to plain text files. - Create a new document, save it as a template. - Tools/Templates and Add-ins/Organizer. Use this to copy the AutoText to the newly created template from the Normal template - Save this template with the AutoText to the same folder where Building Blocks.dotx is saved for Word 2007 - Start Word 2007 with its own Normal.dotm. Alt+F11. File/Import to bring your Word 2000 VBA modules into Normal.dotm.

Press ALT F8
Organizer Macro Project Items One side - browse to Normal.dot Other side Normal.dotm (browse if necessary) it shouldn't be. I would not recommend this you should store your macros in "makeupaname.dotm" and put the template in a trusted location as a global template. I would also test each macro to make sure they function correctly in 2007. Hope this helps. "Why did I update" Why did I wrote in message ...

I'm brand new to Vista/Word 2007 so please excuse the ignorance. I need to
do the same as the original poster. I followed these steps up to Tools/Templates and Add-ins/Organizer. I can't find a Tools menu or anything with these names anywhere. Where is this menu located?
