Are there any files (in the User Templates folder) with names similar to "Normal"? It might be worth opening each of them and see what comes up...

Stefan,
There was a normal.dotm, a normal(2).dotm, and a normal.dotm.bak file but all were empty. I had at one time converted all my macros to a word doc and I was able to copy and paste those in but I hadn't updated that doc in a while. That won't happen again.
I have purchased a backup from seagate. Will that back up my macros or should I stick with my low tech copy and paste backup? Hopefully this will never happen again but I would like to be prepared this time.
Thanks!

Using backup software is a good idea. To find out what is being backed up, you have to look at the documentation.

File History in Windows 10 may be an alternative, but I suspect it primarily backs up document files, not templates.
