Lost macros after re-installation

User has to have 2 versions of Office on her pc. Office 97 and 2003.

she accidentally recieved 2007 and had to have that removed, and
re-installed the versions she needed .. now when she opens Excel. she gets a
message that the file opening is incompatible format and then shows machine
garbage.. this is referring to her Personal .xls file

If she opens a saved file that used these macros...there is no macro list
available under tools.

are these gone?

Found that the personal.xls file was now saved in 2007 format. opened file in
2007 Office.. saved file.. renamed and copied to user's pc with 2003 Office
and it worked
