SYMPTOMS
If you delete a macro from a template, and if you have a macro with the same name in your Normal template (Normal.dot) that is also assigned to a menu, Word for Windows also removes the macro from the menu in Normal.dot.

For example, if MyMacro exists in both My_memo.dot and in the Normal template, and if MyMacro is assigned to a menu in the Normal template, Word for Windows removes MyMacro from the menu in the Normal template when you delete MyMacro in My_memo.dot.

Word does not delete the macro from the Normal template; Word only removes it from the menu.

By contrast, this does not happen with a macro that you assign to a toolbar button in your Normal template.
