Hi Jerry,

Do you still have the Word 2003 installation? If so, go to Tools|Options|File locations and look under 'User templates' for the path to the file. To see where Word 2007 has its templates stored, go to Word Options|Advanced > General and look under 'User templates' for the path to the file. With any luck, that's the same folder than Word 2003 used. If there's a 'Normal.dotm' there, close Word 2007 and delete or rename it. Then re-start Word 2007 and open Word 2003's 'Normal.dot' file (you'll need to use the 'All Word templates' option for 'Files of Type' and navigate to the folder where 'Normal.dot' is located). You can then save the file as a macro-enabled template type, named 'Normal.dotm', where Word 2007 keeps its user templates. Re-start Word and all your macros should be available, along with whatever other template customizations were in use before.
