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.
