Custom Toolbars/Menus Don't Stay Put
I have tried to find someone to answer this question for years and have still
not found anyone who can solve this problem. I have created custom menus in 2003 Word. These menus a 1. Shortcuts 2. Forms 3. DB The first menu has different macros that perform certain functions on my documents. The second menu contains macros that open forms/documents. The third menu contains macros that open certain databases. For no apparent reason, when I open Word, all my menus are completely changed. The shortcuts are on the forms menu, DB on the shortcuts menu, etc. That is, if they are there at all. I have saved numerous Normal2.dots on a cd and also on my desktop, but when i open them, they default to the current Normal.dot which is the one that has none of my menus. This happens over and over and over again. I have tried to run a system restore to an earlier time, but it doesn't fix it. Basically, I have to rebuild everything from scratch all over again (and again and again and again). Many times, my macros are completely gone. Can anyone give me a reason for this and how to fix it? Thanks in advance. -- S |

Custom Toolbars/Menus Don't Stay Put
You should save the template that contains your toolbars and the associated
macros in the Word\Startup folder so that it is treated as an Add-In. By default, the Word Startup folder is located a C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup -- Hope this helps.
