Whenever I create a new macro in Word, after I have quit the application and
then reloaded Word, the macro has disappeared.

The macro is associated with the Normal.dot template.

To solve this problem, I first thought that the Normal template was
corrupted, so I went through the usual process of renaming the template to
Normal.old and then restarting Word.  This did not solve the problem.

I then completely uninstalled Microsoft Office XP and reinstalled the
program.  This step did not solve the problem either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
