All macros disappeared

Hi,

Word 2007 
All my macros are missing.
When I open the Developer --->Macros the list is empty.
No matter which one I choose in "Macros in".
I checked the normal.dotm and noticed that there is one called normal.old with yesterday date. and a normal.dotm with today date.
I replaced the old with the dotm file thinkning that some how the file was replaced and the normal.old contains the macros I had.

Any idea how to save my Macros?

thanks in advance.

Answer
By default macros are stored in the normal template, normal.dotm. It appears that yesterday you somehow managed to replace the old normal.dotm with a new blank one. If you have no backup and the old file is not in the recycle bin, then the contents of the old file with the macros is lost.
