_Most_ macros from older versions will run with no problems. They'll
need some minor revision if they explicitly assign .doc or .dot
extensions when opening or saving files, as the new extensions are
..docx (or .docm for macro-enabled documents) and .dotx (or .dotm).

If they do anything with CommandBars or some things with AutoText
(which is now part of the BuildingBlocks collection), they may need to
be modified or redesigned, or maybe trashed and recreated as RibbonX
(the XML code for the ribbon).

In some cases, old workarounds for Word's shortcomings can be replaced
with newer features. In particular, if you're using protected forms
and VBA userforms mainly to prevent users from messing up formatting,
look at Content Controls as a replacement.

Word 2007 sounds like a radically newly designed version of Word. Apparently
it doesn't even have menus and toolbars. Will macros from older versions of
Word work in Word 2007?
