How to convert Word 2003 template to Word 2007

[Sevilho]

I have my Word 2003 template with macros and shortcuts for them. I make Word
2007 .ditm template base on Word 2003 template as says Help. But:
1. there is no any macro in new templates. I use organize for adding macros
2. I lost all my shortcuts. I must assign them again (labour-intensive).
Note when I returned to reassign dialoge all my shortcuts do not showed but
work properly.

Do you know a sliple way to transform all your template settings?

If this is a document template, leave it alone. Word dot format templates
work in Word 2007 albeit.some macro functions will no longer work.
If you want to convert it to dotm format, then open the template in Word
2007 and save as DOTM format.
Whether the macros will work in Word 2007 is another issue entirely.

French is not included by default with a Swedish Office installation. I
belive you need the Microsoft Office 2003 Proofing Tools, but I don't know
if it's still available, given the fact that Office 2007 is the current
version.

If you are saying that Word runs properly when it is started in Safe mode,
that indicates a problem with an add-in, with the Normal template or with the
registry. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProblemsStartingWord.htm.
