WD97: VBA Code Lost After Converting to Another Document Format (158060)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows Service Release 1 (SR-1)
This article was previously published under Q158060 SYMPTOMS
When you save a Word 97 document that contains Visual Basic code in
another document format, such as Rich-Text Format (RTF), the Visual
Basic code is lost.
NOTE: In the version of Microsoft Word 97 prior to Service Release 1
(SR-1), Word does not display a warning dialog box that macros will be
lost when you save to another document format.
In Microsoft Word 97 Service Release 1 (SR-1), a warning appears as
follows:
All macros in this document will be lost if the document is
saved in <Selected Document Format>. Do you want to save in this
format anyway?
CAUSE
None of the converters that ship with Word 97 supports the conversion of
Visual Basic code. If you need to save a document in a format other than
Word 97, make sure you have a backup copy of your Word 97 document before
you convert it.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word 97 for
Windows.
