Macros missing after upgrade to Office 2007

[janprich]

The IT department at work came in and upgraded my Office to 2007 without me
being there. Now I can't find my macros. There are none located on the
normal.dot template. Do I have to try to recreate them? Or was there
something I should have done to save them before the upgrade (I have a copy
of my word docs on another computer so still have access to the Office 2003
version).

Thanks!

Normal.dot is not the best place to store macros and your experience is one
of the reasons. A better place to store them is in a template that you save
into the Word\Startup folder.

Do you have a copy of your old normal.dot template somewhere? If so, save
it with a name other than normal.dot into the startup folder which will be
located at

C:\Documents and Settings\[your name]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup
