In Word, most of the macros will be somewhere in one or more of your "document templates" = *.dot files (usually). Getting the "new" Word to recognize them may take some styles/templates management, but you can at least do some "salvage" by making sure you get the *.do* files from the old machine. Unfortunately, recent Word versions have a whole buch of "junk" templates, so you may want to explore a little to find which ones you need. The templates usually aren't too large, so you could probably just save them all as a backup. I only find about 5MB of *.dot in my Word 2002 setup.

I don't know anything specific about Netscape, but most email files are in database format, which means you almost have to save the entire database to get any of it. The main purpose of compacting is to rebuild the index files that allow the program to find stuff in the database. The most common failure in moving email is getting the data but not the index.

You should do a fresh "compact" on your email, to make sure the index is up to date, then copy the entire email folder to your zip disk. You can then (I'm guessing a little with respect to Netscape) import the inbox, and/or whatever other email folders you want, into your new setup, from your "backup folder" on the zip disk.

You can sometimes get by with copying a folder, if a folder by the same name exists on the new machine before you do the copy. The next time you compact, it may find the files that were copied in ... or not. Better to take the whole thing, and use the built in transfer system.

As indicated, I'm speaking general email data types - without specific familiarity with your program. Perhaps someone who uses it will be along soon with more first-hand experience.
