It is almost certainly normal.dot. I keep mine in a different file. You
probably have other customizations as well. See
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions
on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including
AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc.

The good news is that if you are upgrading on the same computer the
customizations should be preserved. (I would still back them up, though.)
