How can I find my old macros?

[execsec9thsolicitor]

I currently have Microsoft 2007 installed on my computer. I created a ton of
macros/autotext in Word 2003. I do not know a lot about computer language,
so answers that tell me "where" to go and not "how" to get there do not help
me. Please tell me, step by step, how to find my old macros and how to
transfer them into my new Microsoft 2007. I'm having serious trouble with
adjusting to Microsoft 2007.

Those macros and AutoText entries should have been preserved if you
installed Office 2007 over Office 2003, but they will not have been
transferred to the new Normal.dotm and Building Blocks.dotx. Use the
information in
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm to locate
Normal.dotm. In the same location, you should find Normal11.dot, which
stores your settings from Word 2003. The article at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179177(office.12).aspx explains
how to convert it to a Normal.dotm that will incorporate these
customizations (it also tells how to migrate your AutoText).
