Hello, I had the exactly the same problem Lily had, but I only have
Acrobat
6. Can anyone help me?????

I had the problem with Acrobat 6 Pro that the header of every one of my
MSWord 2003 documents would be disorganized by a toolbar offering the
Acrobat
functions. The toolbar duplicated what was offered in the drop-down
menu,
and it made the Word screen smaller. And generally it upset me by
bollixing
up format.

I went to a site called Betalogue and found that smarter people than I
were
also vexed at this problem. In any case, those folks told me to go to
the
"MicroSoft Office" folder among the Program files and, inside that, find
a
folder for "Office" (which in my machine is the "Office11" folder), and
further inside that find a "Start-up" folder. Inside the "Start-up"
folder
there's a file called "PDFMaker.dot" that governs what toolbars are
available on the top MSWord documents when you open them. I found that
by
creating a folder named "PDFMaker.dot" in the "Start-up" folder and by
putting the "PDFMaker.dot" file in the folder of the same name, then I
could
get rid of the unpleasant Acrobat6 toolbars in my Word documents.

Put file "PDFMaker.dot" back in "Start-up" folder, and the Acrobat
functions
become visible again at the top of every newly opened Word document.

Hope this is in some way relevant to your problem

Hi!

I have a problem with customizing toolbars: I can customize it
normally
(adding or taking away the buttons), all works fine, but then when I
close
the Word (2003) and open it again, it is as no customization was done
(it
doesn't remember it)! How can I fix it?

oh, in other office programs, like excel or outlook, it remembers the
customization of the toolbars

Thank you for your help!
