There's a registry patch which will stop the add-in loading, listed on my
web site at http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm, but
this also removes the functionality that the add-in provides between Word
and Acrobat, so is only a temporary solution until someone puts the boot in
at Adobe.

More background ... this is a new computer activated a week ago. I
loaded a few pieces of software on before i activated the Office 2003
package. I am pretty sure Acrobat 7 was one of them. And I set up the
home network at the same time. When I activated the Office package
... Outlook was the first program run and i was able to save the only
change to the normal.dot.

Based on the comment regarding Acrobat 7 ... I uninstalled Acrobat 7.
And it opened normal.dot for refreshing and saving now customization.
Thank you.

Now the next question ... how do I load Acrobat 7 so it won't
interfer with normal.dot?

Sounds like this could be a problem.

I agree but my problem is a little different. Mormal.dot will not
refresh. None of my changes stick. Cumstomization of the tool bars
or menu bars is not being saved. All of the pre set tool bars work
fine. I can turn them of and on ok. I just can't save custom
changes. I also am using Word SP1 and XP with SP2.

I can easily reproduce this on several machines. I am using Word
2003 SP1. When you configure your toolbars, the state of those
bars is saved to Normal.dot. Word appears to correctly save the
state of all bars EXCEPT for the Outlining Bar. If I turn this
bar ON, and close Word... it will ask me if you want to save
changes to Normal.dot (since I turned on to have it alert me to
changes) and I say "YES" and then next time I load Word the
Outlining toolbar is OFF again!

I an easily reproduce this bug on more than one machine.
