Re: Script Editor Word 2007.

Jay, do you know if installing Office 2007 disables the MSE in previous
versions? I know I had it in Word 2003 on my old machine, can't swear that I
installed it on the new one, but when I used Alt+Shift+F11 the other day, I
got an error message, and when I tried to install, Word went off into
Neverland.

According to
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179199(TechNet.10).aspx,

"Microsoft Script Editor (MSE): The removal of this low-use feature
increases security. Documents that contain scripts and that are upgraded
to the new file formats will lose the scripts without warning."

For updating links, you can use a macro like the one in
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.word.vba.general/browse_thread/thread/c3b00b39e9cd1539/84e7cc85e7b0ad77?hl=en&lnk=st&q=#84e7cc85e7b0ad77.

I really thought this would be a pretty simple request, but, I guess
not. Anyway, I can save the document in a previous version, IE: 2003,
and then open the document at a machine running the earlier version,
and edit the code there using Shift Alt F11 keystroke shortcut. I am
assuming this is something Microsoft no longer suppoprts? Has anyone
needed to do this? Since it had been assigned a shortcut keystroke,
in earlier versions, you would think it was a pretty integral piece
of the software.....

I have a document that has about 150 links to an excel work***. I
need to update the link path. Previously I would use the Word script
editor, to perform this function. This does not seem to be available
in Word 2007, or I just can not find it. It appears the only way to
change a link in 2007 is to edit each link from within the link
editor, and is tedious at best. How can I get to the script editor
for Word 2007, is the functionality still there?
