Word 2003 doesn't save toolbar customizations??
I just had to do a format and clean install of *everything*. In word 2003, I
like to customize the top line 'toolbar' (File-Edit-View-Insert-etc) by adding 'work'. This is found by right clicking on a blank space in the toolbar areaCustomizeCommandsBuilt-in MenusWork. I left click on 'Work' and drag and drop it on the menu line. This has been uncomplicated in the past, but now it will not stick. If I close Word and then reopen, it is gone. After re-applying 'work' to the menu bar, all the docs are still listed there. Close word, reopen, and it's gone again. What's up with that?? Thanks in advance, Eddie in Colorado Springs "Student Runs Over Driver's Ed Teacher" -- AP headline |

Eddie,
The menus and toolbars are store in the Normal.dot template. It sounds like you may have a problem with the normal.dot file. Try the tips here to resolve: http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support F.

Edwin,
Yes apparently so. According to Beth Melton: We've recently learned that their new add-in for Word is preventing modifications to Normal.dot from being saved. Either uninstall the add-in or after making your modifications hold Shift and then click File/Close All in order to manually save Normal.dot. Graham Mayor also offers: I'm still using Acrobat 6, so cannot confirm this works with the problematic 7, but have you tried loading the add-in only when it is required, by calling it from a folder other than the start-up folder - see the method described at the end of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm. |

Making the changes and then 'ShiftLeft click Close' makes no difference 4. I can find no PDFMaker.dot on my system 5. I disabled the 'Speed Launcher', but that didn't make any differencer, either. I guess the next step would be to uninstall Acrobat 7?? |

Acrobat 7 uses a new method for making the PDFMaker available to Office
apps. You don't need to uninstall Acrobat itself but you do need to edit the Windows registery. You need to find the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\ Addins\PDFMaker.OfficeAddin] and change the subkey called "LoadBehavior" from a value of 3 to 0. "F.

Not having Acrobat 7 to check, does this prevent the add-in from loading?
And if it does, then how do you re-load it in order to use the macros the add-in contains, without which Acrobat only provides a shadow of its available power to produce pdf's from Word. Does Acrobat 7 still use a dot file add-in? If it does, then the method I described at http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm should, in theory, allow greater control of whether the add-in macros are available or not. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rick wrote: Acrobat 7 uses a new method for making the PDFMaker available to Office apps.

Acrobat 7 doesn't use a .dot file. If you want to create a PDF from within
Word, you can still print to Distiller (the printer is now called "Adobe PDF"). As for the PDFMaker and its macros, I suppose you could rig something through VB. But as far as I'm concerned, any addin that can completely cripple functionality by its mere presence is a dangerous addin and should NOT be loaded at all, ever. So for me, until Adobe recognizes and fixes this problem, the LoadBehavior will remain a 0. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Shooting in the dark here, as I am using Acrobat 6, however I agree with
your comments. Historically Acrobat add-ins have caused as many problems as they have solved, but they have been necessary to provide full functionality from Word. To this end the ability to load the add-in when required was a simple task when using a DOT add-in. Using a COM add-in presents greater complications. It was always possible to print to Distiller, but this then often meant that further work through Acrobat was necessary to complete the file. Let's hope that Adobe will fix the problem. Until then, I will happily stick to version 6 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Rick wrote: Acrobat 7 doesn't use a .dot file.
