Word 5.50: Macros Not in Macro Edit Box After Conversion

5.50 6.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Glossaries containing macros that were created in Word version 5.00 (or created in earlier versions of Word and converted to use Word 5.00 command syntax) can be converted by using the MACROCNV.EXE conversion utility provided with Word 5.50.

When converting a Word 5.00 glossary, some or all of the macros in the glossary must be selected prior to conversion. If no macros are selected before pressing C to “convert all marked macros and exit,” the conversion will seem to occur, but no macros will be listed after choosing Macro Edit and opening the Word 5.00 glossary file.

When using the MACROCNV.EXE program, press SPACEBAR to individually mark macros for conversion, or press M to “mark/unmark all macros.” After the intended macros are marked (an asterisk will appear to the left of the macro name), press C to convert all of the marked macros. Once converted, the macro names should appear in the list of macros within the Macro Edit dialog box.
