I have no idea on why you might not be able to record macros. So I'll ask some questions that might help arrive at a possible solution.

1. If you open Word in Safe Mode, can you record a macro?
2. Can you open the VBA editor and run macros that are there?
3. Does macro recording work in Excel?
4. Are you on a corporate network where your IT group may have implemented a security change?
