If I have understood correctly, you are creating normal.dot from a personal
document template. This would not create a true normal.dot file. Only Word
can create normal.dot which it does when a file of that name is not present
when Word is started. You can move toolbars between templates/documents
using the Organizer, without having to resort to such a rigmarole.

Bev, Here's how I've had succes in saving a toolbar to a template:
1) find your normal.dot file (let me know if you need to know how to
find it) 2) drag a copy of your template into the same folder
3)Make sure Word is closed and not running in the background
4) change the name of your Normal.dot to something like
"normal_restore.dot" 5) change the name of your template to normal.dot
6) open an instance of Word (not the normal.dot file)
7) create your toolbar and close the document without making changes
8)close Word
9) change the name of the template back from normal.dot to it's
original name 10) overwrite the old copy of the template iwth the new
one 11) rename your normal file to normal.dot
12) delete the template copy
You should see the toolbar next time you open the template.
Let me know how that works for you.

Word 2000 - 2003? Are you sure that the toolbar is saved to the
particular document template (or to a global template accessible by
all users)? Check with the organizer and if necessary move it there.
If it doesn't show, it could be turned off. Add a line to an autonew
macro in the document template as follows
CommandBars("Your Toolbar Name").Visible = True
Word 2007 - see http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm

We've created a toolbar for the company and we want it to appear on
all documents that are created using a specific .dot file. I
thought that if I saved the .dot file with the toolbar in place,
that toolbar would appear whenever a document was created based on
that .dot file. I've not been successful at getting that to happen.
I always have to customize and add the company toolbar in.
I add the toolbar to the .dot file.
I create a document based on that .dot file.
The toolbar is not in place by default and I have to add it. We
want it as a default.
That's it in a nutshell.
