Sombody please help me with this, because once it's done there's no going back. John, can't give a definitive answer about the macros but I do know that in previous Office version upgrades we have done in our school, macros and especially programming did not always convert and work the way you would expect. Auto-text should work pretty much as before. If you can't install the '07 product side-by-side and run that way with the 2000 macros instead of upgrading see my last paragraph. Unfortunately, that is a really big jump in versions so I would guess that incompatibility would be more in your upgrade than say a 2000-2003 upgrade would be as the newest version of the software has a totally different user interface and other significant changes. YMMV with any change. What I would recommend is to do a full clone of the hard drive, with software such as Acronis True Image, as it is before you make the upgrade. Do the upgrade and if it doesn't convert appropriately clone the drive back to the way it was before the upgrade. That way you wouldn't have lost anything other than some time. |

I have an old computer that I might try what you said on. |
