Importing Customized Autocorrect, macros & templates - old version

[Guest]

Just purchased a new laptop that has Word 2003 on it. I have a whole bunch of customized autocorrect, macros & template files on my desktop computer that has Word 2000 on it. Is there an easy way to import/copy those files into Word 2003?

Recreating them would not be fun. I need step-by-step instructions. Thanks!

With the exception of any unformatted AutoCorrect entries, everything
else is stored in template files (*.dot). Transfer them from one
computer to the other. There is no compatibility problem between Word
2000 and Word 2003.

For instructions, see these articles:
