Kathryn ... you are right on the money!
I do use Outlook (2002, sp2)

I did a test in response to your email.
(note ... pdfmaker toolbar is never ever present in my outlook)

I deleted normal.dot. Opened word ... pdfmaker toolbar is present.
Closed word
Opened Outlook, started new email.
Opened word ... no pdfmaker toolbar.
Closed word
Closed Outlook email
Reopened Word ... still no pdfmaker toolbar.
Delete normal.dot
Reopen word
pdfmaker toolbar returns.
So ... Outlook factors in there somehow!

I think it was you or Echo that knows a pdf guru guy ... wonder if he's
listening!

Anyway, I finally put a shortcut to the template directory so that I can
instantly delete normal.dot. I need it regularly because of a members
contact *** on a website that I created/maintain has regular changes and
there are hyperlinks that need to be available after posting to the net.

Man ... what a mystery.
Thanks again for your insites. Diana

Dinah,
Do you use Outlook with Word as your email editor? If so, then check this:
1) Open a new email for editing - No PDF menu, right?
2) With that email open, open a Word doc - Still no PDF menu, right?
3) Close the email. Open a Word doc - PDF menu there or gone?

I suggest this because I have had the same problem with the PDF menu coming
and going from Word. I haven't completely tracked it down, but the Outlook
connection is definitely doing something to that menu :)
