Fixing toolbars to documents
I open Test.doc. From the toolbars menu I select MyToolBar and use the
macros on it. Now I save Test.doc. Now I open it, but there’s no trace of MyToolBar. How do I make the toolbars I use stick with the documents where I need to use them? |

Fixing toolbars to documents
The toolbar needs to be created in the template from which you created
Test.doc -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Judy" wrote in message ...

How do I make the toolbars I use stick with the documents where I need to use them? There is no "MyToolBar" in the default Word program, so I assume you created one. Did you make a custom toolbar by clicking the New button in the Customize dialog? If so, what was selected in the "Make toolbar available to" dropdown in that dialog? In other words, what file was it saved in? What I suspect happened is that you told the New command to save the custom toolbar in Normal.dot (the default in that dropdown), but when you closed Word and it asked whether to save changes in Normal.dot you answered No. That action discarded the toolbar -- it was never saved. If you're making the toolbar for use in specific documents, particularly if its buttons run macros in the template for those documents, you should be careful to (a) tell the New dialog to "Make the toolbar available in" that same template, and (b) answer Yes when asked whether to save changes to that template -- that prompt might occur when you close the last document based on that template, or when you close Word completely. -- 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. |

Fixing toolbars to documents
Test.doc was created from Normal.dot and MyToolBar is in Normal.dot. A
new document created from Normal.dot does not show MyToolBar until it’s checked in the Toolbars menu. Once it was checked in Test.doc and Test.doc saved, I’m expecting the MyToolBar to display next time I open Test.doc without me having to go into the toolbar menu and rechecking it, but it doesn’t.

Fixing toolbars to documents
This is template-dependent, I think, not document-dependent. If the last
Normal.dot-based document you have open when you quit Word has that toolbar displayed, then I would expect Word to display the toolbar on restarting. Or if you close a Normal-based document with the toolbar displayed and immediately open another, I would expect to see the toolbar (maybe). -- Suzanne S.

How do I make thetoolbarsI use stick with thedocumentswhere I need to use them?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks for your insights, Suzanne. Neither possibility leads to a stable and reliable working situation. I would have thought that just as a Normal based document first has normal text, some of which is now bolded, then the document is saved and reopened, the bolding is still there, so it would be with the toolbars in use. Apparently it’s not so and there seems to be no way of making it so. A strange and illogical situation, if indeed true. |
