I think they are not compatible so you'll have to rewrite them.

Yes. Though I've not used WordPerfect, comments here make me vaguely suspect
that what WP calls macros, Word calls AutoText? What do these WP macros do?

Also,
These links might not have the answer to your specific question, but you
will probably find them very useful as you switch from WordPerfect to Word.
