Default Macro's in Word 07 from previous version

Are you sure that the macros were actually saved in the document and not in
a template (by default the Word 2003 normal.dot template)? If they are in
the template you could use the Organizer (ALT+F8 Organizer) to move the
macro project containing the macros from the template that contains them to
the normal template in Word 2007.

Thanks, I have the developer tab, but when I click on the Macros
button it doesn't show any in the document. Do I need to open the
document in word 2003 again and save it differently or something? I
have checked again, and the macros run fine in 2003.

You shouldn't be encountering a message to enable them if the

click Macros. Do you see the macros you are looking for listed?

If you don't see the Developer tab, click the Office Button, click
Word Options, and in the Popular section, select "Show Developer tab
in the Ribbon".

Thanks for your reply. I am not encountering any message when I
open the document regarding macros, but I have checked it in the
previous version of
word and it is fine.

Thanks

Are you encountering a message that they are disabled?

Hi, I am trying to enable Macros in Word 07 from a 2003 document.
I have
changed the settings in the Trust Centre to enable macros, but it
still doesn't work. The document is from a trusted source, and is
saved in my trusted locations. I don't have administrator
privileges on my PC.
I have been reading that I can only enable macros in the group
settings -
is
this correct? Any help appreciated, I am not very familiar with
working with
macros.
Thanks,
Rebecca
