 Going from Word 97 to Word 2002 (Macros)

Hi,

We are in the process of converting to Office XP, I have several
macros that were written using VBA in Word 97.  The first error I get
when I try to run the 97 Macros in 02 is "Can't open Macro Storage"
then "Can't find Project or Library", I haven't went much further, I
may have some missing references, I check the references list and have
checked off the same one's that are checked off in 97 however the 02
Macros have the Office 10 Object Library and in 97 it's Office 8
Object Library.  I'm not quite sure where to go from here, I was
wondering if anyone else if going through this conversion and could
offer some help.  It would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Barry

Do you now have the correct References?
If so, do you still get the error message?
Culprit could be a 3rd party Add-In.
Unload ALL global templates before you attach your template in Word.
Does that make the error go away?
If so, you'll need to figure out which is the {*filter*} 3rd party add-in.

Also, if you are running Norton Auntie Virus, disable the NAV Office
plug-in, but do NOT disable NAV's AutoProtect.

Lastly, one cannot assume that macros written for an earlier version
will.should work in a later version.
It is not uncommon for a bug in code in macros to show up in later versions,
but not the earlier version.
And, sometimes, MSFT breaks things in later versions.
