Moving/copying Macros

  • Follow


I am using Word 2007 - Office Home and Student.  I have made some macros 
which are very useful for me.

I am moving to a new computer where I will install Word 2007 - I would like 
to move the macros there.  Is there a location where all macros are stored 
and I can copy and paste those files?  In WordPerfect that can be done.

I tried looking in Word options and file locations but cannot seem to find 
the macros stored files.

Thank you

Unless you have specified a different template, they are stored in 
Normal.dotm.

Macros used with Word are stored in templates.

Clicke the Developer Tab>Code>Macros

The dialog that opens will display the macros currently loaded and 
available.  You can use the "Macros in:" field to determine the macros 
stored in each loaded template.  If you don't see your macro listed then it 
is a) the template that stores is is not currenlty loaded, or b) the macro 
takes arguments.

After you learn which template contains your macros you can use the 
organizer to copy them to a new template and transfer that template to the 
new PC.
