Default Word 2007 - how to import macros from previous normal.dot

I installed Word 2007 as a separate install, on another drive, so i could
continue working in 2003. However both versions had their normal.dot 's
overwritten, losing my keyboard macros (which are mostly about moving round
text - back /
forward a word/character, move to next /last period /comma, up, down, etc.)

I tried using the 2003 save my settings wizard, but that didnt' work either.
:-(

I like the look and feel of the new program but I'm not going to work in it
yet.

Hi Anthony,

I rely on my keyboard macros for writing and so it's not worthwhile giving
any time to the new beta until I have done that customisation. I can see
that there is a reason why Office 2007 has a different system for macros, but
can you tell me a way to bring my old macros into it.

You should be able to continue to use your macros, unless they do something
that's no longer supported in Word 2007 (very little of that). Have you tried
them? If you have, please describe
- the steps you followed to use them
- exactly how a macro isn't working (and copy the code into your response)
