Delete Custom Toolbar
Windows XP-Pro and Office 2003
A client of mine tried to create a new toolbar in Word. She made several attempts (naming them Toolbar 1 and Toolbar 2 and Toolbar 3). Now that I have solved her original problem, I want to delete these three empty toolbars. I went to Tools | Customize | Toolbars tab and highlighted one of the empty toolbars. I clicked DELETE and repeated the process for the other two toolbars. When I close Word and come back in, the toolbars are still listed as available (although empty) toolbars. Any idea what could be interfering with the deletion process? I even renamed them (junk, trash, and garbage) and then tried to delete them. No luck. |

Delete Custom Toolbar
Are you sure that Normal.dot is being saved after these operations?

Delete Custom Toolbar
I was able to get into the office this morning and use this helpful
information you sent me. Worked like a charm. Thanks!! "Klaus Linke" wrote in message ... Try to delete them from the Tools Templates and Add-ins Organizer... Toolbars tab.

Delete Custom Toolbar
Wouldn't that be an automatic save, or am I supposed to do something
specific to resave normal.dot? I actually accomplished the deletion using the other suggestion I received here, but I'm curious about the original attempt I made going through Tools | Customize | Toolbars tab. I figured that when I highlighted one of the empty toolbars and clicked DELETE that would do the trick. I was, however, just on a new blank document screen. Should I have done this after opening normal.dot instead??? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Are you sure that Normal.dot is being saved after these operations? -- Suzanne S.

If you have "Prompt to save Normal template" checked on the Save tab of
Tools | Options and don't get prompted to save Normal.dot when you quit Word after you've made this change, then likely Normal.dot is not getting saved. This can be caused by an add-in such as the Adobe Acrobat add-in; if you're running Acrobat 7.0, see the last section of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm (and note that you can force a save anytime using Shift+File | Save All). -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the information. Who'd of thunk it?!?!?! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
