Default where are the macros hiding

Hi,
My wife created a bunch of macros for grading her college English papers.
Then her computer had a motherboard failure. I took the hard drive out and
backed up most of her files, including Office. When the computer shop fixed
her laptop, they wiped out her hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP. I
reinstalled Office, and now I'm trying to find where her macros are hiding so
I can move them to the new install of office. I looked in the "1033" folder
in the old Office11 folder, but they're not there. She had her macros set up
on a toolbar called "Grading," and I can't find that either.
Thanks,
Jeff

They were probably saved in Normal.dot. If she doesn't have a backup of
that, she'll have to recreate them from scratch.
