I've been asked to convert several hundred MS Word 2002 Templates (on the PC) to work on the Macintosh. I have to evaluate whether the Word Templates can be run in iWork Pages and Microsoft Word for the Mac. The biggest issues that I've found thus far are that I'm unable to convert the following -

Macros
WordBasic code
Visual Basic

Has anyone here ever done this before and can provide any suggestions?
