Icons still dropping off tool bar in Word 2003
On June 30 I posted a message regarding the icons from 4 of my personal
macros unexplainably dropping off the Word 2003 tool bar. I have done everything Graham, Suzanne and Stefan have suggested but it continues to happen. I have gone to Toolscustomize and put the icons back in place on the tool bar countless times but it continues. I want to add that this started occurring the same day I made some changes to my Outlook Email [no registry stuff]. I have three other computers and the icons disappearing has never been an issue, using the exact same macros. Word continues to be my email editor for Outlook. Any other suggestions? |

In that case, the only solution is to create your own Custom Toolbar. Add
all the command icons you use regularly including the Macro command buttons you created. Now use your Custom Tool bar and close the Standard and Format Toolbars. If you are like me, you probably only use a few of those commands regularly anyway. Save this custom toolbar to a completely new template - call it CustTB.dot. Place the template in the Word Startup folder. It will be automatically loaded when Word is started. Terry "Mel" wrote in message ... The adaptive menus are disabled.

Grab it by its handle and drag it away from the edge of the screen. The
handle is the left end where the three dots are. And it can be resized even without opening the Customize dialog. If you drag it back to a docked position, it will revert to a single row. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Mel" wrote in message ...

When you hover the mouse over the right end of a floating toolbar, you
should see a sizing arrow (just as you would on an AutoShape). Drag the side until the toolbar becomes narrower. Depending on the number of icons, you have have two, three, or more rows. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Mel" wrote in message ...
