Default Custom Styles and Macros have vanished

I managed to find the location of the dotm file. It's in a hidden folder (took me a few hours to figure that out). I found a file called normal.dotm.old. I removed the .old extension from that file and modified the name of the existing normal.dotm file. Word 2007 now reveals my modified styles in addition to the macros I created. So amazingly enough, I didn't lose any of my valued creations!

One last thing: One of my posts didn't show up so I would just like to reiterate to the good folks he No, I didn't unplug my computer while it was on!

This has been a great learning experience!

Oh, and I guess I should include that dotm file in my regular backups!
