I have documents whose macros run fine in Word in Office Professional but do
not run at all in Word in Office Basic. I need to use the documents on both
computers. How can I make this work?

Your problem must lie elsewhere. Word is the same in both products. (The
difference between Basic and Professional is the includion of other apps,
like Access.)

Were the 'Custom' templates, that you need, installed on both computers?
You can go into VBA Editor and export macro project modules to disk as .bas
files and userform files to your Desktop, for example, and then you must use
whatever means you can ( floppy drive, usb thumbdrive, LAN ) to have those
exported files seen and available to import in the VBA Editor on the other
computer. Also see help on .import and .export methods in VBA Editor Help,
in case you don't see Import and Export in the VBA Editor File menu.
