Convert WordPerfect 12 Macros to Word 2007

[Deanna Reynolds]

Hello Everyone,

What's the fastest way to convert nearly 1000 macros and templates from
WordPerfect 12 to Word 2007? I've done some research and realize
the two programs use two different macro authoring methods, but surely
there's a batch conversion utility out there, right?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, there isn't. In fact, what Word and WordPerfect think of as "macros"
are entirely different things. As I understand it, the nearest equivalent in
Word is Autotext (I think renamed in Word 2007 to something like "Quick
Parts").

That was my understanding, as well. I guess I was just hoping someone on the
boards might have a cool trick up their sleeve.
