Default converting toolbar to Word 2007

Hi Joe,

If you have created a custom toolbar in a document or template in a pre Word 2007 edition (not customizing a built in Word toolbar)
and you then open that document or use that template as an add-in in Word 2007 then the toolbar should appear as a ribbon group
within the 'Add-ins' tab of MS Word 2007 (check your security and user settings in Word 2007's options if it does not).

You won't be able to float or locate the toolbar to another location. Another option is to explore the RibbonX XML customizations
MS is presenting for Office 2007's Ribbons that can allow you to add your own groups and tabs.
