atw: Word template - conversion from 97 to 2000 problem

One of our clients is having problems with a .dot Word template file that 
one of my colleagues (or one of our writers) created for her over two years 
ago.  Her IT department suggested it might be because the template was for 
Office 97 whereas they've upgraded to Office 2000 since.  Typically, they 
couldn't (or wouldn't) assist.
There is apparently a conversion process within Office 2000, but when she 
tried it, it falls over when it gets to the macros that are in the template.

The copy of the template that she has is exactly the same date as the one 
we have in our archive.

I've not used 2000 a lot (personally I still use Word 97) and have never 
converted a template.  Has anyone on the list run across a similar problem 
and do you know of a solution?
