Guide to Converting

Excel 2003 Macros to

Excel 2010
When you decide to replace Microsoft Excel 2003
with Excel 2010, you may not give a second
thought to your macros until you try to use them.
However, with a little preparation, you can easily
convert your Excel 2003 macros to Excel 2010,
including those in your personal workbook.
Backing Up Macros
The first thing you need to do is backup your Excel
2003 macros. Under most circumstances, the
macros stored in individual workbooks, meaning
those you use in single spreadsheets or
workbooks, can be converted easily without any
extra work. However, there are times when the
only way to make the macros work correctly is by
manually copying and pasting them into Excel
2010.
Open any workbooks where your Excel 2003
macros are stored. Open the Visual Basic for
Applications editor. Select the Tools menu,
choose Macros and select Visual Basic Editor.
Choose your macro's name. Copy all code for each
individual macro. Open Notepad and paste the
contents of each macro into a new Notepad
document. Name the Notepad documents as the
macro name. If you have multiple macros stored
in a single workbook, copy them all into the same
Notepad document for easily retrieval later.
Notepad can be opened by selecting All
Programs from the start menu,
choosing Accessories and selecting Notepad.
Now that you've backed up your single macros, it's
time to backup your personal workbook. You only
need to do this if you've stored macros which can
be used universally in all Excel spreadsheets and
workbooks. By default, the Personal.xls workbook
is stored at C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART. The directory will be
different if you chose a different installation
location when you installed Excel 2003. Copy
the Personal.xls file to a new location, such as
your desktop. To prevent any possible macro loss,
copy any macros stored in this file to a Notepad
document as well.
Convert Excel 2003 Macros to Excel 2010
Now that all your macros are backed up, it's time
to install Excel 2010. Once Excel 2010 has been
installed successfully, open one of your Excel
2003 workbooks in Excel 2010. Try to run your
macros. If they run without any problems, your
macros converted successfully. Go to
the File menu and select Save As . Choose the
Excel 2010 format to complete the conversion.
If you receive an error message or nothing
happens, try one of the following methods:
Trust Center - Go to File , select Options and
choose Trust Center . Press Trust Center
Settings near the center of the screen.
Select Macro Settings on the left side of the
trust center window. Choose to either Enable all
macros or Disable all macros with
notification . With the first option, all macros
will run regardless of the creator. The second
option provides you with a notification which lets
you enable or disable macros whenever you open
a workbook.
Select Trusted Locations on the left side of the
trust center window and select Add new
location. Add the location where you store your
Excel workbooks to the trusted locations list. This
will prevent your macros from being blocked due
to their location.
Copy and Paste - Open the Visual Basic Editor
in Excel 2010. Select the Developer tab and
chooseVisual Basic . Select the sheet or
workbook you want to add the macro to. Copy and
paste the desired macros from your Notepad
documents. Save your changes and close the
Visual Basic editor. Run your macros to test them.
Convert Your Personal Workbook
Before you create any new macros in your Excel
2010 personal workbook, open
the Personal.xlsworkbook you backed up earlier
in Excel 2010. Go to File and select Save As .
Press Browse and choose the following directory
as your storage location: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE14\XLSTART. The
directory may vary based on the installation
location you chose when you installed Excel 2010.
However, be sure to name the
workbook Personal , save it using the default
Excel 2010 extension and store it in the XLSTART
folder. This will allow you to use all your saved
macros in Excel 2010 workbooks and
spreadsheets like you did in Excel 2003.

Converting Word 2003 macros
to Word 2010 (or 2007)
Normally, I write about things that make many people,
including my boss, head explode. But today, I want to talk
about Macros, not the C++ Macros, but rather the down to
earth macros that the hardworking paralegals,
administrative assistants or secretaries might use.
Why? My sister-in-law, Kathy, was visiting this week, and
just before she left to return to the lovely land of Seattle,
she ask a question:
The law firm I work for upgraded to Word 2010 and I no
longer have my macros that I used in the previous version
of Office (which I think was Office 2003, but could have
been Office XP), what happened to them? Is it Office
2010 fault?
The answer is pretty simple: Usually when a system is
upgraded a proposal is written between the IT consulting
firm and the customer, especially if it is for a law firm.
Often, the normal.dot template is not part of the contract
between the IT consulting firm and the law firm, or any firm
for that matter. However, the line workers, in this case the
paralegals, often use recorded macros for efficiency
purposes, but lawyers usually dont use these macros.
After a number of years using Office XP, these paralegals
build up a significant amount of macros that they are used
to having.
When the new Office 2010 is put into place the normal.dot
from Office XP or Office 2003 is not used to build the new
normal.dotx. Unfortunate since it is very easy to do, of
course some macros will not translate because they may
use features unique to Office 2003 or Office XP. But most
will.
Here is one way to do (make sure to test that everything
works before committing to this as a consultant):
Change the name of the Office 2003 or XP to normal1.doc
Build Office 2010
Open Office 2010
On the ribbon, select View, Macros, View Macro, select or
click the Organize button, then the dialog box below will
show up:

In the box on the left select normal1.doc, select the
macros you need to move to the new normal.
Close and that will do it, the macros will now be available
for you to use in your documents.
So, you might ask, what about autocorrect? Well I will
describe how to move your autocorrect from an earlier
version to a later version in a later blog post.
Finally, why hasnt Microsoft clearly documented this
procedure? I have no idea, it appears to be an oversight
that needs to be addressed by the Office team, frankly, I
could not easily find the answer on office.com, so why
should you? And the user experience is that the end
users blame Microsoft for the upgrades, etc. when the
ease of fixing that dissatisfaction could easily be
accomplished.
After all, Administrative assistance, secretaries,
paralegals, etc. really make use of this kind of thing and
they need to be taken care of as well.

What's new in Microsoft
Outlook 2010
Microsoft Outlook 2010 includes new features and
capabilities to help you stay connected with
people and bettermanage your time and
information.
Expanded ribbon
First introduced in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007,
the ribbon is part of the Microsoft Office Fluent
user interface. It is designed to help you quickly
find the commands that you need to complete a
task. Commands are organized in logical groups
that are collected together under tabs. In Outlook
2010, the ribbon has replaced the former menus
in the main Outlook window. In addition, the
ribbon can be customized to include custom tabs
that you can personalize to better match your
work style.

More room to manage your account
Many Outlook settings that are not directly
related to creating or managing Outlook items,
such as print commands and account
management options, are now in the Microsoft
Office Backstage view. Click File to manage your
accounts, set up rules and Automatic Replies, and
find other behind-the-scenes options.
See more of your messages
An improved conversation view is now available
when you work with your messages. This view
improves tracking and managing related
messages, regardless of the folder that contains
the messages. You can see the complete course of
the conversation, including your responses, find
the most recent responses, and more easily
determine the message most important to you.
You can also easily categorize or ignore a
complete conversation. For more information,
see Introduction to Conversation View.

Process and file your messages faster
Quick Steps Turn commands and procedures
that you use most often into one click. You can
customize the default Quick Steps, and create
your own buttons that combine your frequent
actions. The Quick Steps gallery includes buttons
for one-click file and flag, sending messages to
your team, and other popular commands. For
more information, see Automate common or
repetitive tasks with Quick Steps.

Meeting Reply Scheduling a meeting is as easy
as replying to the message. While reading a
message, you can schedule a meeting with all the
message recipients with the new Meeting
Reply command. All the messages recipients are
added to a new a meeting request in one click. For
more information, see Respond to an e-mail
message with a meeting request.
Instant Search improvements Outlook 2007
introduced Instant Search. In Outlook 2010 it is
easier to narrow your search results by using
criteria such as sender, subject keywords, and
other information such as the presence of
attachments. The Search Tools contextual tab
includes a set of filters that efficiently focus your
search to isolate the items that you want. For
more information, see Find a message or item by
using Instant Search.

Reduce the noise in your Inbox
Ignore Conversation If a conversation is no
longer relevant to you, you can prevent additional
responses from appearing in your Inbox.
The Ignore command moves the whole
Conversation and any future messages that arrive
in the Conversation to the Deleted Items folder.
For more information, see Ignore Conversation.

Clean Up Conversations When a message
contains all the previous messages in the
Conversation, you can clickClean Up to eliminate
the other redundant messages. For example, as
people reply to a Conversation, the response is at
the top and the previous messages in the
Conversation are below. Instead of reviewing each
message, keep only the most recent that includes
the whole Conversation. For more information,
see Use Conversation Clean Up to eliminate
redundant messages.

Work smarter and more efficiently
with messages
MailTips Outlook 2010 includes MailTips, which
help you avoid common, but potentially costly or
embarrassing mistakes. MailTips alerts can be
triggered by actions including clicking Reply
All to a large recipient list, sending sensitive
information to someone outside your
organization, or sending a message to someone
who is out of office. For more information,
see Turn on or off MailTips.

Forgotten subjects When you click Send on a
message that does not have a subject, a message
appears to confirm that no subject was
intentional.

Auto-Complete List improvements It is easier
to remove a name from the Auto-Complete List
suggestions, and when you are using a Microsoft
Exchange Server account, your Auto-Complete List
is available from any computer that you use
Outlook with your Exchange account. For more
information, see Delete a name from the Auto-
Complete list.

Resize attached photos An option is available
to resize large attached pictures. For more
information, seeReduce the size of pictures and
attachments.

Include screen shot Sharing what you see on
your screen is easy with the new Include screen
shot command. Select all or any part of your
computer screen and include a snapshot of it in a
message.

More spell checking Spell checking works in
more places. This includes subject lines of
messages, tasks, and meeting requests.
Expanded delivery information When you use
a Microsoft Exchange Server account, you can
review detailed delivery information both for
outgoing and incoming messages.
Get the calendar big picture
Meeting Suggestions Introduced in Outlook
2007, Meeting Suggestions now appears when
you create a meeting request. Schedules for
attendees are analyzed and the best time is
suggested, based on everyone's availability.

Calendar Groups Quickly see the calendars of
people you frequently work with. Select the
members one time, then use the Calendar Group
every time that you want view those same
calendars. Calendar Groups can also include
resources, such as conference rooms. This is a
great way to find available conference rooms in
your building. For more information, see Create,
view, or delete a calendar group.

Schedule View Whether you use the new
Calendar Groups, or manually select multiple
calendars to review, the new Schedule View can
help take some guesswork out arranging
meetings. Individual, resource, or Calendar Group
calendars appear in a horizontal view to quickly
discover the best time to meet.

Quick View When you receive a meeting
request, Quick View helps you better understand
how a meeting request affects your calendar.
When creating or responding to a meeting
request, a calendar snapshot appears in the
meeting request. You can instantly review any
conflicts or adjacent items on your calendar
without ever leaving the meeting request.

Work with all your accounts in
Outlook
Multiple Exchange accounts Outlook 2010
supports multiple Exchange accounts within an
Outlook profile.
IMAP improvements Deleting messages in an
IMAP e-mail account resembles other e-mail
account types. When messages are deleted, they
are moved to a Deleted Items folder. Marking
messages for deletion and purging is no longer
necessary.
Stay on top of your tasks
To-Do Bar The To-Do Bar has been improved
based on customer requests. In Outlook 2010
there is better access to all-day appointments and
events. Additional improvements include visual
indicators for conflicts and unanswered meeting
requests, day separators, and convenient drag and
drop resizing to see more of what you want when
you want it. For more information, see Change the
size or contents of the To-Do Bar.
Save your information
New data file name When you save Outlook
information on your computer a data file is used.
In previous versions of Outlook these files were
named Personal Folders files (.pst) and Offline
Folder files (.ost). They are now named Outlook
Data File (.pst) and offline Outlook Data File (.ost).
For more information, see Create a file to save
your information.
Easier access to your Outlook Data Files (.pst
and .ost) All earlier versions of Outlook saved
your data files in Personal Folders Files (.pst) and
Offline Folders Files (.ost) in a hidden folder on
your computer. In Outlook 2010, any new data file
that you create is saved, by default, in the
Documents\My Outlook Files folder. This makes it
easier for you to back up your Outlook data and
to locate and copy the data file to a new
computer. For more information, see Create a file
to save your information.
Stay connected
Outlook Social Connector The new Outlook
Social Connector (OSC) connects you to the social
and business networks you use, including
Microsoft SharePoint, Windows Live, and other
popular third-party sites. You can get more
information and stay in touch with the people in
your network without leaving Outlook. For more
information, see Introduction to the Outlook
Social Connector.

Quick Contacts Get faster access to your
contacts including instant messaging and
presence indicators with Quick Contacts without
leaving the mail view. With the new Find a
Contact box on the ribbon, you can start to type
the name of the person you are looking for and
get instant results including multiple ways to
connect to the person including instant
messaging, phone, mail, and meeting scheduling.
When Microsoft Lync integration is enabled, you
can search your Global Address List (GAL) and
Contacts using a type-ahead search that shows
user photos, title, and availability in addition to
names.
Hierarchal Address Book You can pick
recipients for messages, meeting requests, and
task assignments by browsing an organization
tree view in the Outlook Address Book.
Unified Messaging improvements
Voice mail transcripts Voice Mail Preview
provides a speech to text transcript of the
message left on your voice mail.

Secure voice mail Protected voice mail helps
to secure and limit voice mail to only their
intended recipients.
Additional improvements
View zoom control Zoom in or out of your
mail or calendar views with the new zoom slider
control at the bottom of the window.

Quota Information In the new Backstage view,
your account information includes a visual
representation of how much space is left in your
mailbox.

Navigation Pane All commands and views that
were previously in the Navigation Pane have
moved to the ribbon. The order of the folders was
also changed to make it easier to find common
default folders, specifically the Inbox and Deleted
Items. Some headers and icons were removed to
streamline the appearance of the Navigation Pane.
Extensibility Outlook 2010 delivers developer
requested features that enable application-
specific customization of the Outlook user
interface. In addition to improved
programmability of the Outlook UI, the Outlook
object model provides support for new and
expanded features in the product such as
Conversations and Mobile Items.
Command line switches Additional command
line switches have been added for deployment
and troubleshooting. For more information,
see Command-line switches for Microsoft Outlook
2010.
64-bit support Outlook 2010 is available in
both a 32- and 64-bit version.

12+ Tips and Tricks to Work Faster in
Microsoft Outlook
Love it or hate it, Microsoft Outlook is still the
de facto email client at many offices. It's been a
while since we took a look at good old Outlook,
so here are some of our favorite tricks well
worth revisiting to increase your productivity in
this all-in-one email, calendar, tasks, and notes
program.P
The instructions and details in this post are
based on Outlook 2010, but they should work
with both earlier and later versions of Outlook,
except where otherwise noted.P
General ShortcutsP
The shortcuts below work across the whole
program, so you can get more done whether
you're reading emails or adding meeting events
to your calendar.P
1. Learn Outlook's keyboard
shortcuts. Like Microsoft Word, Excel, and
other Office apps, Outlook has unique keyboard
shortcuts so you don't have to waste time
moving your mouse around or drilling down
through menus. Learn the ones you use most
and you'll speed through your Outlook tasks.

Quick Steps Looks Like Office 2010's Killer Feature
Microsoft's Office 2010 has rolled out to trusted
testers, and among the screenshots coming back,
nothing seems so promising as the Quick
Steps Read
2. Take advantage of Outlook's Quick
Steps. For those unfamiliar, Quick Steps isthe
killer feature Microsoft introduced with Outlook
2010. They're shortcuts to any multi-step action
you can think of, such as moving emails to a
specific folder and marking them as read or
forwarding an email to your team and flagging it
at the same time. It makes short work of
repetitive tasks, and you can create your own
Quick Step actions. P

3. Create a new item from your
clipboard. Hat tip to fellow Lifehacker Walter
Glenn for this tip (and others in this piece): P
Copy any text to your clipboard, then in Outlook
press Ctrl-V. Outlook creates a new message (or
note or whatever item, depending on the folder
you're viewing) with the text already pasted. P
So instead of creating a new item in Outlook,
and then copying and pasting text in, you do
both in one step.P
Email ShortcutsP
Even though Gmail and other webmail services
are quite capable, Outlook is no slouch when it
comes to sorting, filtering, categorizing, and
otherwise wrangling your inbox to your needs. P

Turn Off All Your AlertsExcept the Immediately Actionable Ones
Your life is packed full of all types of alerts.
You get emails, text messages, push
notifications, and phone calls all the time
begging for your Read
4. Limit desktop notifications to only the
most important emails. It's terribly distracting
to constantly be told "you've got mail!" but you
still want to get notified for the most important
alerts. In Outlook, set desktop notifications only
for those VIP messages. Canadian legal
magazine Slaw offers a detailed tutorial for how
to do this, but, essentially, first you'll turn off all
desktop alerts under the Mail Options, then
create an Outlook rule to display alerts for
messages from specific people sent only to you.
For example:P

5. Flag messagesfast. With a message or two
selected, jut hit the insert key to toggle the flag
on or mark it done.P
6. Get emails that aren't sent directly to you
out of your inbox. In an old post (still worth
looking at if you're using Outlook), Scott
Hanselman details his GTD organization
method for Outlook. One of the best tips is to
use a special "Inbox CC" folder to gather all
the emails that aren't sent directly to you; that
way, the inbox is focused on only the most
important emails. To set this up, go to Rules >
New Rules. Then click the "Advanced
Options" button. In the Rules Wizard, select
"where my name is not in the To box" and then
in the next screen, "move it to the specified
folder." (Alternatively, set up a VIP email folder
and move "emails sent only to me" into that
special folder.)P

How to Use Text Expansion to Save Yourself Hours of Typing Every Week
In a regular day, most of us type the same things
over and over again, wasting an enormous
amount of time in the process. Why not let your
computer Read
7. Use email templates to never write the
same email twice. Tired of sounding like a
broken record? For those emails you send often,
such as requests for information or reminders of
due invoices, save the email as a template via
File > Save As > Outlook template. Then, to
use the template, go to New Items > Choose
Form and look in your "User Templates in
File System" to browse for the template you
saved. Or, even quicker, double-click the OFT
file from Windows Explorer to create a new
message from that template. You can also use
text expansion to accomplish this across any
program on your computer.P
8. Create search folders for your most
important emails. What are your most
frequently accessed emails? Maybe they're
emails from your boss or certain subjects (now
where's that TPS report?). For any search you
perform often, just save the search for quick
access. Click on Search Folders in the left
navigation menu, select "New Search Folder,"
and then either use the wizards or manually
customize the search to your specifications. P

9. Quickly save emails as files. If you want to
save certain emails for posterity, you have a few
methods at your disposal. While you can
individually save any email through the File >
Save As... menu (options: text, HTML, Outlook
Message format or .msg, HTML, .mht), it's far
faster to save emails by dragging them to the
desktop or Windows Explorer. This will save
them in Outlook's proprietary .msg format, with
the subject as the file name.P
You could also use VBA scripts
like this and these to automatically (or semi-
automatically) save emails to your local hard
drive as individual messages, freeing them from
the .PST or .OST file Outlook keeps them in.P
Tasks, Calendar, Notes, and JournalP
Outlook isn't just an email client. It's a full-
fledged Personal Information Manager. Having
everything in one place has its advantages, but
there are still ways to use all these features more
effectively.P
10. Group tasks by custom priority. If you
want to use Outlook as your to-do manager too,
MSDN's JD Meier suggests this organizational
structure: In addition to adding a start date to
each of your tasks, add a custom priority field
(such as P0, P1, and P2). Then you can group
your tasks by that custom field so you can see at
a glance which ones to work on at the right
time. For example:P

productivity techniques like working on tasks in
batchessuch as the Workstation Popcornway
of working productively from homeor if you
want to organize your tasks by the amount of

11. Use natural language to create a calendar
event. Don't waste time scrolling through the
monthly date picker to find the exact date for an
appointment or meeting. In the date field, type
naturally "Independence Day," "three days from
tomorrow," and so on.P
12. Save Outlook notes, events, and any other
item to the desktop for quick access.It's not
just emails you can save to your computer
outside of Outlook: calendar events, notes,
contacts, and everything else can be dragged to
the desktop or a Windows folder as individual
items for quick access later. Double-click the
itemeven if Outlook isn't openand it'll open
right away in Outlook.P
Bonus (for Outlook 2010 and earlier): Use
Outlook as an automatic time tracking
tool. This one's been deprecated in Office 2013,
but if you have an earlier version of Outlook,
you can use the Journal to automatically log
your tasks, time, Office documents usage, and
so on. You have to click on the left navigation
pane's "More" button to find the Journal icon
and then enable the Journal to track messages
from specific contacts, meeting requests, and
time spend in other office programs. P

You'll then see a timeline and detailed log of all
these events, which is great for those of us who
have to keep timesheets, invoice clients, or just
want to jog their memories about where the time
really went.P
These are all just scratching the surface of
Outlook's capabilities. Loaded with options and
features, as well as VBA scripts you can install
or write yourself, Outlook is a powerful tool for
organizing your daily life. For more tips and
tricks, see our previous collection of Outlook
tips or share your favorites here.
