The toolbar settings for Word are saved in one or more templates (*.dot files). If you didn't change the default in the Customize dialog, they're all in Normal.dot. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...latesStore.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm. Unless someone else here has the other part of your answer, you'll have to ask about Excel in an Excel newsgroup. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Transfering Custom Toolbar Settings in Word and Excel
Chances are that you do not transfer them, at least not easily, if they are
customizations of the built-in toolbars. See http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc. If moving to a new computer setup (rather than one that is being used by someone else) you may end up copying normal.dot. Eventually, though, you'll want to bite the bullet and put your customizations in a separate global template. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
