How Do I Install Macros In Word
I'm an experienced Word user, although I'm still running with Word from
Office 2000 (about to upgrade to the latest Office version), Suddenly, some of my documents say that the document was written with the need for macros, which wasn't installed. I tried to do a repair installation of Word from Office 2000, but there was no option for including macros. How can I get this feature installed before I upgrade word. Thanks in advance.

How Do I Install Macros In Word
Hi Abradaxis,
Office 2000 supports macros (vba) by default, so there's nothing you need to install to enable that capability. If you post back with the specific error message, someone might be able to tell you how to resolve the issue. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Abradaxis" wrote in message ...

How Do I Install Macros In Word
While opening some documents the following warning message appears:
"The function you are attempting to run contains macros or content that requires macro language suppport. When this software was installed, you (or your administrator) chose not to install support for macros or controls." If I hit okay twice the document opens, but when I try to close it the message appears again, followed by the message that "Changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal.dot. Do you want to save these changes?" Afraid to say yes, I say no and the document closes. Thanks once again for your help. "macropod" wrote in message ...

How Do I Install Macros In Word
Visual Basic for Applications should have been installed by default, but in
case it hasn't re-run Office setup again and check. If it is shown as installed, uninstall it. OK out of the dialog, then re-install it again. This should fix the registry entries. (You will probably need the original Office installation CD) You are presumably getting the error because you are trying to open a document that contains macros? If you copy the error message into Google you will find some other possible causes. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Abradaxis wrote: Sorry, I looked over your two references, but could not find anything related to my problem.

How Do I Install Macros In Word
Hi Abradaxis,
OK, so someone did a custom Office 2000 installation and chose not to install macro support. You can rectify that via Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel - you may need the original installation CDs. You also mentioned upgrading. If you're upgrading to a later version of Office (eg 2003/2007), you shouldn't need to add the macro support to Office 2000 beforehand. Just do a custom installation with the upgrade and be sure to install all the options you'll need at that time. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "Abradaxis" wrote in message ...
