How do I migrate Global Macros into 2003?

[duke_man]

I have several views and macros developed in MSP 2002 I would like to migrate
to 2003. I tried replacing my local GLOBAL.MPT file with my MSP 2002 file.
This makes MSP 2003 crash when I try to open the old modules in VBA.

duke,
Probably the best way to migrate your custom views, macros, etc. is by
placing them in a dummy Project file and then moving them to the Project
2003 Global. This is easily done with the Organizer.

Just for reference, I also periodically save a copy of my active Global
to another location (e.g. removable media). That way if I ever have a
crash (of course that has never happened, yuck, yuck).....

I think duke_man's problem may require copy and paste. I noticed that old
macros retain their old references, so that even using Organizer may not
solve the problem. I've found that by creating a macro in 2003 a 2003 module
is made available to use as a paste location. Without making any changes to
the macro, a macro that was not working in an old module will work when
pasted into a new one.
