Word *should* remember where you last had the toolbar. Off the top of my
head, I believe details are stored in the Word Data key in the registry. Is
this just a problem with the Clipboard toolbar, or do all toolbars behave in
the same way? If it's all toolbars, then are you perhaps in a corporate
environment where your settings may be overridden by over-enthusiastic
techies? If it's just the one toolbar, I can think of no obvious reason,
perhaps the data key is corrupt; it would be worth trying to rename it (and
letting Word create a new one) to see if that solves the problem.

In the past several weeks, I've tried to solve this problem in other ways,
and am getting nowhere. Every single new document I open displays with the
Clipboard toolbar in docked position, so once I drag it down so I can see
the
12 cells and use it in one document, this doesn't carry over to other
documents, already opened or not. I have to drag the Clipboard toolbar to
undock it _in every single document_ to get it to float there. Since I use
this feature many times every day, this is a real hassle. If anyone can
help,
I'd surely appreciate it!

I hope somebody can solve this. I use Word 2000 (9.0, 3821 SR-1) and use
the
*floating* Clipboard toolbar a lot in my work. Somehow - I don't know
how -
the Clipboard toolbar now docks itself automatically, so that every time
I
close and reopen Word, and then press Ctrl-C twice to display the
Clipboard
toolbar, it appears docked above the formatting toolbar. I then have to
drag
it down beside my document to see and use its 12 cells. Since I have to
do
this again and again, this is getting old!
I've tried Detect & Repair, and have scoured the internet for a solution,
without luck. I found someone who told people how to get Word 2000 to
dock
its Clipboard toolbar *permanently* by going to Control Panel
Accessibility
Options and click on "Show extra keyboard help in program". That box
isn't
checked.
I have tried installing a backup copy I made of Word's normal.dot, in
case
this has been corrupted, but this didn't help, either.
Thanks very much for any suggestions!
