Using this assessment information the migration process from earlier versions of Office to Office 2010 can be better planned. In the event migration of custom Add-ins or VBA is needed, the Compatibility Inspector tools can perform an analysis of the code and suggest potential issues. This video introduces these tools and how to use them to assess your environment and code.
