This is the scenario and steps to reproduce:
We have existing Word 2003 templates that have custom toolbar items assigned
to macros embedded in the template.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a new document off of either a .dot or .dotm template in Office
2007 compatibility mode that has a custom toolbar
2) At this point the newly created document should have the custom toolbar
under the Add-Ins tab
3) Save the document in .docm format still maintaining compatibility mode
4) At this point the newly created document should still have the custom
toolbar under the Add-Ins tab
5) Close the document
6) Reopen the document and the Add-Ins tab (along with the custom toolbar)
is no longer there. I can see the Add-Ins tab for a split second when
opening the document, but, it quickly disappears.
These are the steps involved.
Thanks.

Hi ?B?Sm9obm0=?=,
I am using the RTM version. Alos, I'm not sure if it matters, but, I am
running the documents under compatibility mode.
Mmmm. Can you give me exact repro steps, starting from how the template came into
being? There are so many possible permutations in this scenario, and it's a busy
time of year :-)
I have a template (.dotm) that has an add-ins tab containing custom toolbar
items. When I create a new .docx document off of this template initially the
add-ins tab is vsisble with the custom toolbar items. However, if I close
the document and reopen it the add-ins tab disappears? If I save the .docs
document as a .doc document and reopen the .doc document the add-ins tab
reappears?????
