2007 template to 2003?
You could open normal.dotm in Word 2007, and save it as a Word 97-2003
template (with a name other than normal.dot to avoid confusion) into the startup folder used by Word 2003. This *should* transfer the shortcuts stored in the normal template and appears to work with my test sample. To what extent your shortcuts will conflict with the default shortcuts of Word 2003 I cannot say, but you will soon find out, and if it doesn't work well you can always remove the template from the startup folder  -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Peter T.

2007 template to 2003?
Oh, excellent! And I can then safely email it? (They don't conflict
with any existing shortcuts in 2007, except that I've used Ctrl-\ and Ctrl-| for Accept and Reject Change respectively, and they called something for which I had no use whatsoever, I don't remember what.)

2007 template to 2003?
PS What happens to my QAT when I do this? Does it turn up as a toolbar
in W2003? (It has buttons for the bibliography system on it, which would at the least confuse the other user.) On Oct 4, 8:58*am, "Peter T. Daniels" wrote: Oh, excellent!

2007 template to 2003?
Saving as a Word 2003 template will simply discard the QAT as Word 2003 has
no way of handling it. I suspect your keyboard shortcuts would take precedence over the default Word 2003 commands. The only problems you are likely to encounter would be associated with shortcuts to new Word 2007 specific functions - but I don't think there are too many of those. Any macros in the template would be retained (and provided they don't contain Word 2007 specific code should still be available) as would any styles and those autotext entries saved in the normal template, however styles in a template used as an add-in would be ignored. I think the bottom line would be to try it and see whether it achieves your intentions. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Peter T.

2007 template to 2003?
No, with that pair of exceptions my keyboard shortcuts are all for
special characters. The only macro(s) is your set for opening at the point where editing left off -- would anything therein trouble W2003?

it's supposed to. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ...

2007 template to 2003?
But should it be removed from the 2003 template before sending? (It
will, after all, insert an invisible bookmark at every save.) I think it's nice to be returned to where you left off when you open, rather than having to tell it to take you to that spot. (FrameMaker takes you to the last editing point automatically.) On Oct 4, 1:21*pm, "Suzanne S.

In that case, yes, the macro would work in 2003.

2007 template to 2003?
No. The macros will not work in 2003 - at least not automatically - if the
template is used as an add-in. They need to be in the normal template to work as intended. The best plan is to remove them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
