VBA for Word 2000 vs. XP

Y

Yeager

Question: A company-wide upgrade will be happening at the
beginning of next month from Office 2000 to Office XP. I
have some pretty intense VBA macros in Word that I use for
data manipulation and conversion from other formats
(Xyvision, SGML, etc.).

Are these scripts going to be impacted at all by the
upgrade? Are there differences in the object model I need
to be aware of? I searched around for a place that
highlights the major differences between Word 2000 and XP,
but aside from Microsoft's glowing advertisement, I didn't
find much.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Yeager,

The simple answer is that you will have to do some intensive testing before
you do the rollout.

There are some changes in behaviour, but I haven't ever seen a comprehensive
list of them, probably because I doubt that anyone (even in Microsoft) knows
all the differences, as some may have crept in by accident.


I've been lucky, I've had an add-in of several thousand lines of VBA code
that only needed about 3 lines fo be modified to work with Word 2002, but
there were large parts of the object model the add-in didn't touch, so your
mileage may vary.
