I am using Word 2004 for Mac on an iBook G4. About 6 months ago all my

suggestion. Thanks.

All your macros are stored in Normal template, if you haven't change
the storage place. Normal template is prone to be corrupted, so it is
usally good idea to backup it. Different people from this group has
differnt workflow how to deal with templates, some ignores normal
template at all (they are obsessed and delete it every time they use
Word:). I personally do not care about Normal, I just backup it - all
my macros store there.

Normal template is located in home/Documents/microsoft user data
some reading about normal template corruption
