how do I lock toolbars?
These two commands might help.
The first prevents customization period. The second prevents customization of the named toolbar.

how do I lock toolbars?
From the Menu (in Word) select Tools Macro Macros... (or just press the
Alt+F8 shortcut) In the Window which opens up (the "VBE") you should see a window on the right headed "Project - Something or Other". This is a tree view of the Documents and Templates you have open. In this list find the document in which you've saved your toolbar - the document name is the one in parentheses probably following "Project" - or if you are trying to protect a built-in toolbar, find the entry named "Normal". Select the entry you have found. On the Menu (in the VBE) click on Insert Module. A blank window will open up. Again from the Menu, select Insert Procedure. A dialog will open up - enter a Name (say "ProtectToolBar") and Press OK Some code will be added to the window. like this ... Public Sub ProtectToolbar() End Sub Place your cursor on the blank line between the two lines of code and type CustomizationContext = MacroContainer (this isn't necessary (but is harmless) if you are doing this in Normal.dot) Press Return and on the next line type ... CommandBars("NameOfTheCommandBarYouWantToLock"). (with the appropriate name, of course) After you type the dot at the end adropdown will appear. Either type or select from the list, Protection Type (space) = (space) Another dropdown will open up with a list of names beginning mso... Select (or type) one of these, say msoBarNoCustomize - as Greg suggests Press F5 to run the code. This will stop anyone adding (or removing) buttons.They will still be able to move the toolbar. If you also want to stop that you will need to add some extra protection. Go back and place ypur cursor at the end of the line (after msoBarNoCustomize) and type (space) + (space) and the list of mso... constants will again appear. This time select msoBarNoMove, so your code looks like this ... Public Sub ProtectToolbar() CustomizationContext = MacroContainer CommandBars("Standard").Protection = msoBarNoCustomize + msoBarNoMove End Sub Press F5 again to run this new code. Now you will not be able to add or remove icons, nor will you be able to move the toolbar (the grab handle will vanish) As many as you want of the different types of protection can be added up in this way - the names are fairly self-explanatory but Help or, better, simple experimentation, will show what each does. When you have finished you can close the VBE by pressing the X in the top right or pressing Alt+F4 just like any other normal window. -- Enjoy, Tony "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...

how do I lock toolbars?
Tony,
I'm not the OP, but have a question about this anyway... I'm using your method to lock all the toolbars from moving (which is EXTREMELY helpful to me, I'm always dragging those suckers everywhere!). I've gotten everything locked but the Menu toolbar (File..Edit...etc). I tried just using "Menu" , but VB didn't like that very much. Do you have any idea what the name of that one would be?

how do I lock toolbars?
Hi Brandie,
If you pick it up and drop it somewhere on the document body, it will float with a title bar showing its name. It's called "Menu Bar". -- Enjoy, Tony "brandie" wrote in message ...
