How can you convert templates that have VBA and Macros into 2007.

Without more information than your subject line, it's impossible to say anything
definite.

Most macro code from Word 2003 templates can be executed without any changes in
Word 2007.

Some exceptions are:

- Macros that create custom toolbars or add buttons to built-in toolbars. Some
of these may work, but mostly they should be replaced with RibbonX code
(http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribbonx).

- Macros that use objects or methods that are no longer supported. See
http://office.microsoft.com/client/helppreview.aspx?AssetID=HV101484861033&ns=WINWORD.DEV&lcid=1033
for a list.

- If the macros work explicitly with the extensions of documents or templates,
the new .docx, .docm, .dotx, and .dotm extensions need to be included.

- Macros that work with AutoText need to be updated to work with Building
Blocks.
