I have just installed Word 2007 but would like to use all my personalized
templates from Word 2003.

I also had a customized toolbar in 2003 which I would like to bring across.
This toolbar always opened along with Word. It included buttons for all the
regularly used items, e.g. Open, Save, View Header and Footer and, most
useful, a button to open a document based on a particular template.

Is this possible, please?

Copy the templates into the template folder and use as before.

Add your shortcuts to the Quick Access Toolbar - it is much the easiest
solution.

If you still have Word 2003 installed, you can transfer you custom toolbar
(sort of) to Word 2007. See http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm.
You can have a customized QAT for a given template as well.

I don't have Word 2003 on my laptop now - just on my PC which, at the
moment, is still running XP. I do have my templates available, however, so I
guess I can use these.

Is is possible to somehow bring over my macros - I have recorded many over
the years to simplify tasks in Word 2003. I didn't save most of them in
Normal.dot but in a separate template.

Copy the template holding the macros into the Word Startup folder. They will
then be globally available.
