I have created a new document and saved it in 2007 format. I've then added
specific commands to the Quick Access toolbar for that document. Again, saved
the document and then closed it. Next time I open it the toolbar with my
commands are all there, but after a brief period of time, the custom tools
disappear.

any ideas??

If you saved the changes to the QAT to a particular document, it will only
be available when that document is the current document.

Yes, I've done that. The QAT is there with the "custom" tools when I open the
document, but after working on the document for awhile, the "custom" tools
disappear.

Are you doing something in particular when the commands disappear?

No, I am still trying to pinpoint what triggers it to disappear. I am
creating shapes in a drawing canvas in the document. However, I am also
working on another Word document as well. I wondered if it had something to
do with toggling? The second document does not have any tools added to the
QAT.

No, the QAT for one document (or template) should not be able to affect the
QAT for another (except in the sense that the QAT of a certain document is
only available when that document is current, of course).

Which commands did you add to the QAT? Are you saying that they actually
disappear or that they are greyed out?
