Re: Word 2003 toolbar setting not being retained

Thank you Graham. The exact problem was that Word was not persisting my
enabling of the Outlining toolbar unlike every other toolbar which persists
when you close and reopen Word. I've added the two macros and those do the
job. Thank you. :)

What *exactly* is it that you have the problem with? The inability to save
normal.dot changes (see the last part of

The inability to have the Outlining toolbar available all the time?
Force it on with auto macros i.e. Add the line
CommandBars("Outlining").Visible = True
to both an autoopen and an autonew macro in normal.dot

I had this problem as well. Did you come up with a resolution? From
my tests this is the only toolbar (other than Task Pane) that does
not persist.

Hi there,

I'm having a somewhat similar problem and I can't figure this out.
In Word 2002, I am trying to customize the toolbar so that the
Outlining toolbar will show up each time I run Word.

In the customizing window, I select the Outlining Toolbar with a
check mark and then click on close. I have the option in Word
selected to "prompt to save normal.dot." Word is not prompting me to
save normal.dot when I exit. When I run Word again, my changes
aren't there (the Outlining Toolbar is not showing). I also am
noticing that there is NO normal.dot file saved in the folder where
it's supposed to be at. In fact, I don't have any normal.dot on my
hard drive at all. I'm not sure why it's not being saved.

I have Adobe 6.0 Professional on my system, but I've removed
pdfmaker.dot from the Office startup folder.

Any clue on how I can proceed with this. At this point, I can't save
any of my changes to Word. Please help. Thanks very much.

.....Jason

When I add new buttons to the Word toolbars and close Word, those
settings
are not retained. When I open Word, the toolbars are set back to
the original buttons. How can I correct this problem?
