Re: delete a custom toolbar in Word 2003XP


I know how to open the normal.dot. Opened it, did not double click. Still
have no idea as to why customization would not stick when deleting the
toolbar. Nothing on the web either, that's why I asked here......Have a nice
holiday, and it's obviously not worth much more of anyone's time on this
subject. I did get it deleted using organizer.

If you double-clicked the file there, you opened a blank document based on
Normal.dot, and not Normal.dot itself. The default action for templates is
"New", not "Open".

To open Normal.dot itself, right-click the file and explicitly choose the
Open action.

The alternative (somewhat roundabout) is to use the Open command in Word's
File menu, change the "Files of type" dropdown to Word Template, (if
necessary navigate to the Templates folder), and select Normal.dot there.

I actually opened normal.dot physically, and used customization to
delete the toolbar. Saved the template, closed, reopened, and
toolbar was back. The only way I could achieve the deletion was
through the Organizer. Just curious, anyway as to why.

Custom toolbars are stored in templates or documents. Unless you
save the template or document after deleting the toolbar, it
remains in the template or document.

Can anyone advise me why a custom toolbar can't be deleted unless
it's deleted by the Organizer? Using customization/delete
deletes the toolbar, but when restarting Word, those deleted
toolbars resurface........... I found that using the Organizer
does the trick, but why would this happen?-
