Hi Larry,

If you create a menu or toolbar in an older version of Word that should load in Word 2007 when you open a document or template that
has those custom made items. (For example you can create a Toolbar named Standard2)

If you modify a MS provided built in menu or toolbar, those changes usually don't appear in Word 2007 when you open the document or
template they are tied to in the older version. (For example things you add to the built in 'Formatting' toolbar don't come over).

You won't be able to modify the toolbars/menus from the User Interface when they're in the Add-Ins tab. I haven't tried or heard
about any efforts yet that may have done that programatically with Word's VBA.

Bob,

You're saying that the customizations cannot be brought over to Word 2007
("Customizations of older Word version built in Word menus and toolbars
usually don't come over in Word 2007"), then you're saying that they can be.

Assuming that they can be, can they be modified once they display in Word
2007? Let's say you want to add a new command to one of the drop-down
menus.

Larry
