If you're talking about the Office Clipboard, there is. I never see it
except when occasionally I click on it on the Edit menu in order to give the
instructions I'm about to provide: At the bottom left corner of the task
pane is an Options button. Click on it and make sure that none of the Show
options is checked.

No, this has been true in every version of Word, but more recent
versions
of
Word have permitted saving toolbars, shortcut keys, macros, etc., in
documents as well as templates.

Geez! Did they just add that for Word XP? Okay - I think that clears
up
my
mystery. Now, to clear up my toolbars!

Thanks.

What is called the "customization context" is important he when
you
add
your toolbar button, check what is selected for "Save in" in the
Customize
dialog.

Additionally, I added the strike-through button onto the toolbar of
the
New
doc - and now it's showing up TWICE on the toolbar for the report
doc!
Can
someone tell me what's going on?

It seems like adding menu command and macro buttons to my toolbars
has
become specific to documents, or at least Word instances, in Word
XP.
I
was in Word 2000 last month, and had no problems adding a button
for
a
menu command or a macro to a toolbar - it would be there the next
time
I
opened Word, and it would be there for every document. Not so in
Word
XP - a button added may not be there the next time I open a
different
document.

For example, I am using strike-through a lot on my current report,
so
I
added the button through Tools Customize. I can open the
report
doc
again and it's still there. While the report doc is open, I click
New -
and the button is missing! Normal.dot has been saved a dozen
times
since
I added that button - but it's not there is a New doc created on
Normal!

What gives??!?
