Do you really need this macro? If the toolbar is displayed in the global
template, isn't it automatically added to Word's display when the template
is loaded?

Hi all,

I am using a global template with a custom menu which is located at the
Menu
Bar. The global template directory is set in Tools, Options, File
locations,
Startup. In the autoexec code within the global template I set the
visibility of a few menu items, e.g.:

CommandBars("Menu
Bar").Controls("MyNewMenu").Controls("MyNewMenuOpt ion").Visible = (Some
condition that returns true or false)

This works very well with Word 2002 SP3 and Windows 2000 Professional. But
if I use this global template with Word 2002 SP3 on Windows XP
Professional
SP2 then the mentioned code returns an error, because the custom menu is
not
being loaded fast enough; or at least, it appears to me that the menu is
not
showing fast enough.

Also, if I open the global template itself with Windows 2000 the custom
menu
shows. But if I do this with Windows XP SP2 the custom menu is not shown.

I have found some references to possible problems with Adobe add-ins. I
have
tested this, but excluding and even deinstalling these add-ins did not
solve
the issue.

I am quite stumped at why this custom menu (or the global template)
behaves
like this. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,

HJ
