Default Word 97 to 2007 Macros

We've installed new PC's with Office 2007 replacing PC's that had Office 97.
This department has many templates with multiple macros. I've looked
through past posts but they are mostly converting from Word 2003. So I
convert the template and save it as a dotm. Looking in the add-in ribbon I
only see one macro unrelated to that doc. I go to macros and I see about 20
macros under this template. When I go to organizer all I see is New Macros
and Report macros which have already been added to the normal.dotm. If I go
to word options and add-in, I don't see them there either. Can anyone shed
some light as to what needs to be done or am I out of luck and have to
recreate the macros? Also, if these templates are on a shared network drive,
would anyone who has access to the templates be able to execute these macros?
Thanks you very much. Terry

Default Word 97 to 2007 Macros

With a few exceptions macros intended for Word 97 and templates that contain
them will work in Word 2007. Have you saved your document templates in a
trusted location. Word 2007 does not save templates by default in the user
templates folder as with earlier versions. See also
