If you are using Word as e-mail editor for Outlook, then when so used it has
entirely different requirements for toolbar availability. The result is the
type of cock-up you are experiencing. You *may* be able to match the toolbar
positions in both applications, but frankly you will find it simpler to use
Outlook's own editor, which is quite up to the task of creating e-mails.

I mean custom toolbars. I deleted my Normal.dot file and the custom
toolbars from addins stored in Word/Startup still appear and in the
normal location. I did as you suggested and they still get jumbled
(sometimes). I think the issue might be related to the fact that I
use Word as my e-mail editor with Outlook. I think the jumbling might
be a result of other toolbars (like Attach as Adobe PDF) that show up
when I send e-mail. I just noticed when writing an e-mail that the
Adobe toolbar showed up on a word document I had open in the
background. This may cause the other toolbars to move in order to
accommodate this one? Although the Adobe toolbar appeared at the top
on a line by itself so I don't think it would move the others.
Anyway, I thought this additional information might be helpful.
Thanks,
Peter

The standard toolbars are stored in the registry - see

toolbars and changes to them are stored in templates, by default
normal.dot.

Sorry Graham but that did not fix the problem. I did not think
toolbar locations are saved in Normal.dot because even if you
delete it, the toolbars appear in their correct location. The issue
I am having seems to be intermittent and random (or else I have yet
to detect the pattern).

Open normal.dot in Word for editing. Place the toolbars where you
want them. Add a character to the text space and delete it. Save
and close normal.dot.

I've recently started experiencing a problem with Word 2003 that
every time I open a document, my toolbars are scrambled. I thought
toolbars were supposed to stay put between sessions. Is this a
bug, or is there a setting I am missing? At the top of the
document I have two standard toolbars and three custom toolbars.
At the bottom I have two standard toolbars. Only the ones at the
top of the document get scrambled.
