Changes To Toolbars Wont Stay
I am using Microsoft Office 2003 on a new Dell D6300 laptop at work. I make
changes to the toolbars in Word to allow me easy access to commonly used functions (e.g. - Insert Picture, Superscript, etc.). When I boot up my computer the next day and start Word, all of my toolbar changes are lost and I have to add them all over again. I've made changes to my Outlook and Excel toolbars and those changes are staying. How can I make the changes to my Word toolbars permanent? Thanks in advance for any and all help provided.

Changes To Toolbars Wont Stay
Unless you tell it differently, Word is supposed to save your toolbar
customizations into the Normal.dot template. There are some add-ins that can prevent that template from being saved (for example, see http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...t_toolbar.htm). If you can't immediately spot the problem, try removing all add-ins from the Startup folder and putting them back one at a time until you find the one that suppresses the saving of Normal.dot changes. As a workaround until you find the culprit, you can force the template to be saved. Hold down the Shift key while you click the File menu, and you'll see a Save All entry. Click that, and it will save first the current document and then the Normal.dot template. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Hi Jay,
That worked! When installed ClickBook from BlueSquirrel it left a DOT file in the Startup folder that seems to have been the culprit. Thanks so much for your help and the great website link for getting rid of the Acrobat toolbar. Thanks again. :-) Roger Tregelles "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
