The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q212387 SYMPTOMS
When you save a Word document that contains Visual Basic for Applications code in another document format, such as Rich-Text Format (RTF), the Visual Basic for Applications code is lost.
When you try to save in another file format, the following warning appears:
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 supports the retention of Visual Basic for Applications code. If you need to save a document that contains code (macros) in a format other than Word 97 or Word 2000, make sure you have a backup copy of the document before you convert it.
