Record Macro button went AWOL

Suddenly a custom toolbar I called Macros, which included the record macro
button and many custom macros became EMPTY. Not just that, but now the
record macro button cannot be found in the Macros pull down menu either.
When editing macros with Visual Basic I cannot find in Normal.dot macros I
made myself. So I have two questions: where can I find a record macro
button, and where did all the other stuff go.
Sincerely
 
Anne, my problem is greater than that. I lost the "record new macro" button,
and I cant find it anywhere. I read about "corruption" all the time. If
that happened, how do I restore things?
Thanks for trying again.
 
Got it! NOrmal.dot was corrupted indeed. Close Word, Rename Normal.dot (it
is usually in Documents and settings/User/Application
data/Microsoft/templates.
Normal.dot is recreated on restarting Word. Make sure folder options are
set to show everything (Application Data is a hidden folder). Thanks to
Graham Mayor
