Differences between Word 2000 and Word 2003?
Hi!
I work in a software development project where I have application which uses Word for automatic creation of documents. The application uses a lot of predefined Word templates and bookmarks which it uses to generate the final documents. Now have the computer department decided to upgrade from Office 2000 to Office 2003. My questions is if there are any known differences between these Word versions that might affect my application? Many thanks! Regards, Per-Anders. |

Hard to say without seeing your code. There are some changes and some
differences with the way mail merge works, but the file format is essentially the same. It might be a plan to install one copy and see how it affects your application. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Per-Anders wrote: Hi!

Hi Graham!
Some tests are planned on the both environments but there is quite many documents. ;-) I just wanted to check if there were any known differences concerning bookmarks and stuff...

Bookmarks no - but stuff ......?
The way custom labels are handled is different as is the default method of connection to data. There are also some minor differences in vba code, but nothing that should cause a major headache .... mail merge aside. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Per-Anders wrote: Hi Graham!

Thanks for your answers! I will run some tests and check if I can find any
problem areas... Regards, Per-Anders. "Graham Mayor" wrote: Bookmarks no - but stuff ......? The way custom labels are handled is different as is the default method of connection to data.
