Macros missing after upgrade to Office 2007
The IT department at work came in and upgraded my Office to 2007 without me
being there. Now I can't find my macros. There are none located on the normal.dot template. Do I have to try to recreate them? Or was there something I should have done to save them before the upgrade (I have a copy of my word docs on another computer so still have access to the Office 2003 version). Thanks!

Macros missing after upgrade to Office 2007
Normal.dot is not the best place to store macros and your experience is one
of the reasons. A better place to store them is in a template that you save into the Word\Startup folder. Do you have a copy of your old normal.dot template somewhere? If so, save it with a name other than normal.dot into the startup folder which will be located at C:\Documents and Settings\[your name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup -- Hope this helps.

Macros missing after upgrade to Office 2007
Hi ?B?amFucHJpY2g=?=,
The IT department at work came in and upgraded my Office to 2007 without me being there. Now I can't find my macros. There are none located on the normal.dot template. Do I have to try to recreate them? Or was there something I should have done to save them before the upgrade (I have a copy of my word docs on another computer so still have access to the Office 2003 version). Possibly, Normal.dot got lost during the upgrade. But one generated by Word 2007 should be named Normal.dotm. Do you find more than one Normal.dot (with or without m) on your machine? Which version of Windows are you using (and did they upgrad that at the same time)? You should be able to copy Normal.dot from the other machine to the current one, but first we should find out where things stand.
