You could try creating a macro in the Normal template, and see if it is still there after Word is closed and reopened.

Also, you can use Explorer to open the Templates folder, to see if there is Normal.dot file there and to check if the save date/time is the same as when you last closed Word. It is usually here:

C:\Documents and Settings\*UserName*\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
