Unless you tell it differently, Word is supposed to save your toolbar
customizations into the Normal.dot template. There are some add-ins that can
prevent that template from being saved (for example, see
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...t_toolbar.htm). If you can't
immediately spot the problem, try removing all add-ins from the Startup
folder and putting them back one at a time until you find the one that
suppresses the saving of Normal.dot changes.
As a workaround until you find the culprit, you can force the template to be
saved. Hold down the Shift key while you click the File menu, and you'll see
a Save All entry. Click that, and it will save first the current document
and then the Normal.dot template.

I am using Microsoft Office 2003 on a new Dell D6300 laptop at work.
I make changes to the toolbars in Word to allow me easy access to
commonly used functions (e.g. - Insert Picture, Superscript, etc.).
When I boot up my computer the next day and start Word, all of my
toolbar changes are lost and I have to add them all over again. I've
made changes to my Outlook and Excel toolbars and those changes are
staying. How can I make the changes to my Word toolbars permanent?
Thanks in advance for any and all help provided.
