I have macros written back in 1994 but currently working with Microsoft Word 2003 and I want to convert them to Microsoft Word 2007. I'm having problems with some of the WordBasic commands and would like to see the syntax for WordBasic commands available with Microsoft Word 2007. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm providing an example of one of the macros in this message:

This is the macor for closing files.
