Custom Styles and Macros have vanished

The mystery now is WHAT exactly did you install that backed up your
normal.dotm file as normal.dotm.old. While I've done that a number of times
myself, I haven't run across anything else that does it "for" me.

In any event, it's good to see that you got your investment back.

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!
