Thanks, I see your point. So the problem I am having is that the macros in Normal.dotm are not available in the documents it creates, although Normal.dotm is stored in the Templates folder. Is there a way to fix this?

Macros stored in the normal.dotm file are available in all Word documents on that system, whether or not the normal template is the attached template.

What is it that you want to fix?

Note that saving any file, other than one created by Word, as the normal template will cause problems. You can open and edit that file created by Word, you cannot replace it with one that you create on your own.
