I use Office 2003. I created a macro, put it on the tool bar and it works
great. Then after I close word and then reopen word the macro is gone like
it never existed. What have I checked to make this happen? I'm sure I've
done it before because I have my own personal tool bar I add these macros to
and there are several on it. I've tried help but it wasn't much help.

Is Adobe Acrobat 7.0 installed on the computer? If so, the Acrobat 7.0
Create Adobe PDF toolbar add-in for Word prevents Word from automatically
saving changes to the normal.dot template (which is where toolbar
customizations are stored). Customize the Word toolbar button again, and
click "Shift+File | Save All" to force Word to save the normal.dot template.
Alternatively, you can prevent the add-in from loading as described in the
last section of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm ,
but you'll lose the PDF toolbar if you do this.

Yes I have Adobe Acrobat 7 professional on the PC. I tried doing the
"shift+file | Save All" and nothing happened. My macro still disappeared as
soon as I closed word and reopened. I went to the link in your post and
can't seem to get that to work either. I tried removing buttons off the tool
bar as well and they were gone until I closed Word.
