Custom Toolbar
How do you customize the toolbar and have it stay? Everytime I go back into
word, I have the original toolbar. I have gone to tools and changed it but I would like my toolbar as the default. How do I get rid of the task pane? I go to tools/options/view and unselect "startup task pane" but that does not work. I would like to open a document without that botersome pane. thanks |

I create a custom toolbar and use that instead, but your customizations
should be sticking unless you are somehow freezing normal.dot. If that is the case, use a different custom global template. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. Please only ask one question in a posting to get the best answers.

Thank you for responding. I'm new at this advice route. I checked out the
websites but they were all for word 2000 or 2002. I have 2003 which is a different animal than 2000. I have 2003 at work and have no trouble with the toolbar settings (or the task pane), but at home my 2003 professional edition wants to defaut back to the ms settings. thanks A.Hinc "Charles Kenyon" wrote: I create a custom toolbar and use that instead, but your customizations should be sticking unless you are somehow freezing normal.dot.

I am sorry, I was distracted by your use of the term toolbar and didn't read
all the way through. Use the task pane controller that Suzanne has linked you to or one of the other ones you can find at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

I downloaded this task pane controller help but when I try to install it, I
am supposed to enable macros but that option is not available to me, just disable and the installation fails. Aggh! It's so frustrating. Thank you for your help. A "Suzanne S.

If your Macro Security level is set to Medium, you should be able to enable
macros, but that should not be necessary if you install the add-in in Word's Startup folder and have "Trust all installed templates and add-ins" checked on the Trusted Sources tab of Tools | Macro | Security. -- Suzanne S.
