My Personal.xlsb lost all saved shortcuts. Any idea?

The shortcuts in my Personal Macro disappeared, and the Developer > Macros button is unresponsive (not populated with names of existing macros, greyed buttons).  

Fortunately the VBA modules are intact and I can still run macros, but the shortcuts I use very frequently for formatting files are gone. Did anybody experience the same? Any suggestions?

  • I would try this:
    - Close Excel
    - Move personal.xlsb to a different folder and rename it
    - Open Excel
    - Record a macro to Personal Macro workbook
    - Close Excel and let it save your now new personal macro workbook
    - Open the old renamed personal macro workbook
    - Copy each module from the old to the new personal macro workbook
    - Close Excel, save the new macro workbook.
