I have 20 plus excel and word 2003 templates on an XP laptop.
I have gotten a new laptop with windows vista and office 2007.

I need to get the 2003 templates working on the new machine using office 2007
Can I copy the 2003 templates and paste them into a template folder and then
open them as templates in office 2007. If yes, where are the office
templates stored ?
If not how can it be done?
Many thanks in advance

Assuming the Word templates have macros that are compatible with Word 2007
(some functions eg Autotext) are different, then copy them into the folder
defined at Word Options Advanced File Locations User templates (or a
sub folder of that folder) and they will be available from New My
Templates.

or open them from their present location and save them as Macro enabled
templates in the Trusted Locations folder (which should be the same place as
above).
