My employer is replacing our computers, which have MS Office 2000, with new
ones that have MS Office 2003. I have my MS Word pretty tweaked, with custom
toolbars, macros, various settings, etc., and hate the idea of having to
start all over. Is normal.dot cross-compatible? I.e., can I just delete
(OK, rename it, for safety) the new normal.dot in Word 2003, and replace it
with the one from Word 2000? If not, is there any way to carry over to the
new computer my old settings?
I assume I could copy my macros, and paste them into the Microsoft Visual
Basic for the macros on the new version. Anyone know how cross-compatible
the macros are, from one version of Word to the next?
Similar workarounds for toolbars, or custom icons on them, or other settings?
Bonus question -- why is it so hard to find an answer to this question?
(You lose points for answering that the author is obviously poor at word
searches since the answer can easily be found at .... Providing the URL for
the answer, without insulting the author, is perfectly acceptable.)
