Office 2007 and Office 2003 and word macros.

[WayneBurrows]

Hi

I have installed office 2007 actually just the trial version at the
moment.

This appears to have killed my macros in Office 2003.

Has anyone else seen this sort of problem? Will my macros still be
available somewhere?

When I open files with Word 2007 or 2003 that previously contained
macros and vba code the macros seem to have vanished. There also
appear to be missing autotext entries.

In Word 2003, your macros were probably stored in the Normal.dot template.
The equivalent file in Word 2007 is named Normal.dotm

If you use File>Open to open the Normal.dot template, you should be able to
get access to them and copy and paste them into the Normal.dotm template, or
better, export the module containing them and then import that into the
Normal.dotm template.
