Default Macro Recording Problem

My goal is simple: Record a trivial macro, assign it to a "hotkey" and save it in a template of my own creation. However, I am encountering a number of problems.

Here is how I have tried to do this:

1. Open a document based on the "normal" template;

2. Immediately save that document as a template named Andrew.dot in the appropriate folder. I now have a template in which I can store the macro;

3. Close that document;

4. Open a new document, and ensure that it will be based on Andrew.dot;

5. Record the macro, assign it to a hotkey, and ensure that it gets stored in Andrew.dot.

6. End macro recording (at this point I would expect that Andrew.dot contains the macro.

7. Close the document that I had opened as per item 4.

When I do all this, and then open a new document, the macro is not in the list of macros for Andrew.dot.

Any suggestions appreciated.
