I am about to roll out Office 2007 to 1600 users. Most of it seems straight forward, but this client is particularly worried about macros and VB scripts not working. How do you migrate them in the first place? Does anyone have a good strategy on how to handle macros/VB scripts, which may currently be in use with Office 2003?
I am also hoping they will just work, but we may bring in a scripting expert just in case they need editing. If you know anything about lack of compatibility, I am also all ears.
Thank you.
Most of it will not need migration. But as Office 2007 has different default security settings in regard to macros and VB code, some setting changes (presumably via GPO) would be needed to make things "work as before". There is a short publicly available writeup published on Directions on Microsoft several years ago - it should help you determine the things to consider.
