MS-Word 2003: Cannot save customized toolbar
Terry,
I checked the "Prompt to save Normal.dot" in the Options, but it didn't prompt me to save anything when exiting Word. I don't use Outlook at all. I checked all fixed drives for "Normal.dot" and there was only one occurence in "Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates". I checked its timestamp - it was on the day I installed MS Office 2003 (24.01.2005). The only file attribute set is only "A" (for Archive). Have you got any other suggestions? I distinctly remember that I had no problems whatsoever during the Office setup. Thanks, Maroska Krtica "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message ... Maroska It certainly should save them to normal.dot and prompt you first (the setting for the Prompt is under Tools, Options, Save Tab and should be checked). If you may another change that requires to saved to normal.dot - try Format, Font, change the font and press Default - does that get saved correctly? (Note that if you have been using Outlook with Word as your editor, you need to close both Outlook and Word before the normal.dot is saved.) If normal.dot is still not saving your changes, then I suggest you search your hard drive for normal.dot and make sure that there is just the one copy in your user profile. (See Tools, Options, File Locations, User Templates for correct location.) -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Maročka krtica" wrote in message ... :I put several icons to my "Standard" Word 2003 toolbar (for example I put : Save As, Properties and Word Count as shortcuts to my toolbar).

Well be default, Word 2003 does not create a normal.dot until such time as
it needs to save customisations. As yours isn't saving any changes, the normal.dot that you are seeing must belong to an old installation. Rename normal.dot as normal.old and test it again.

I renamed the Normal.dot to Normal.old, loaded Word and checked "Prompt to
save Normal template". After I added one icon to my Standard toolbar I closed Word. There was no question whether to save changes. After I reloaded Word, there was again the standard "Standard" toolbar without my newly added icon. I also tried adding an icon to the "Standard" toolbar in Excel 2003 and it was no problem. When I reloaded Excel, the new icon was there. What else can we try? Thanks, Maroska Krtica "TF" terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom wrote in message ...

Someone else in one of these NGs experienced a similar problem recently, and
I believe the upshot of it was that an add-in was setting the Saved property of Normal.dot to True (which would cause Word not to prompt you to save it and consequently not save it). Look in Tools | Templates and Add-ins (as a start) to see what add-ins are listed. You can also use the Save All command on saving a file based on Normal.dot to force Word to save Normal.dot along with it. Alternatively, have you tried opening Normal.dot directly, adding toolbar buttons, and then explicitly saving it? -- Suzanne S.

Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If so, there is a
conflict between Acrobat 7.0 and Word 2003 that prevents Word 2003 from automatically saving changes to the normal.dot template. Add the toolbar button again, and press "Shift+File | Save All" to force Word 2003 to save the normal.dot template.
