Default Retaining macros using Word 2007 in compatibility mode

It appears that for some reason your normal template (normal.dotm) is not
being saved when you close Word. Set the prompt to save the normal template
in Word options. Having added your macro, do you get the prompt on closing?
If not somthing is inhibiting the function. The most likely cause is a
poorly written add-in.

My problem is that macros I save related to a document keep
disappearing.

I create a macro and customise a keyboard shortcut for it. When I
save the shortcut, it is apparent that it is being saved in
normal.dotm. The problem is that at a later time, when I return to
the document, the macro is missing. When I go to Developer/Macros,
the macro that used to be there is not there anymore.

Before deciding to post this message, I thought I better double check
things. I created the macro, saved and closed the document, opened it
again and yes, the macro was still there. I figured the problem must
be due to me not saving things properly because everything seemed to
be working OK.

I closed the document, went to lunch, came back later and opened the
document. The macro has disappeared again. Very frustrating. I am
working in compatibility mode and saving documents as Word 97-2003
version. Any ideas please? TIA .. Greg
