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. -- Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Word toolbar customizations are stored in the Normal.dot global template.
There is a conflict between Acrobat 7 and Word 2003 that prevents Word 2003 from automatically saving changes to Normal.dot. The workaround is that when you know you have made changes to your Normal.dot template, you should hold down the Shift key and click on "File", release the Shift key, and click on "Save All" to manually force Word to save both the Normal.dot template and your Word document.

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. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org garfield-n-odie wrote: Word toolbar customizations are stored in the Normal.dot global template.

In Word 2003 cannot get toolbar buttons to stay after changing
Word 2003 Toolbar buttons thread dated 11/1/2004-11/2/2004
Beth, My toolbars are almost completely dimmed. I tried all of the actions as posted in the thread referenced in this reply (1st line). I was unable to find Normal.dot when searching all of my drives, so I wasn't able to try that recommended fix.None of the others worked, they a protected docs - checked docs on another PC; registry corruption - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Data, files erased and Word restarted; two month old purchase of MS Office Professional - no demo problem; starting Word with "winword /a" command (quotations for understanding only) - commands not yet enabled; COM add-ins - right click on any toolbar to customize - no commands available there either, and Normal.dot - can't locate file. I also ran a complete virus check - nothing showed up. I'm getting pretty desperate since Finals are here and I have a lot of work to do! What else could be happening?
