My toolbars change from the time I close either spreadsheet or word document
and even my Outlook toolbars change. The other frustrating item is preventing
the movement of the toolbars I do want to keep. Instead of staying where they
are when I close the program, they shift to another position when the program
is reopened. How do I prevent this occurance?

G'day "Sammyb9" ,

This is a Word newsgoup. Thus we can answer the Word part. Toolbar
customisations are stored in:

* The template you specify (if you do specify one!)

* Normal.dot

* The Word data key in the registry

* The template the UI device is stored in

So there are many combos of mistakes that give rise to the phenomenon
you describe.

I opened normal.dot, removed the toolbar I didn't want, adjusted the
remaining toolbars how I wanted them and now I'm going to sleep and i'll see
how this has worked the next time I open a doc file. Is there something
similar for excel?

Did you ever figure out how to keep your toolbars in Word the way you last
left them? I find that they are constantly minimizing and moving around.
