Can't distribute toolbar in Word 2000

[Gene]

I am experiencing a problem with distributing a custom
toolbar I created in a Word 2000 template file. The
template file with the custom toolbar resides on a LAN
file server. If I instantiate the template as a document,
the toolbar appears also appears in the toolbar; but, if I
copy the document to my desktop, the document on my
desktop has the toolbar missing. Strangely, if I copy the
template file from the file server to my desktop and
instantiate it as a document on my desktop, the toolbar
will display in this document. I do not understand why
there should be any difference. Would anyone please
inform me as to why I lose the toolbar if I copy a
document on a file server (which has the toolbar) to my
desktop?

It apparently is not picking up the attachment to the base template. I don't
know why this would be a problem. However, you might want to keep your
templates in the user templates folder or workgroup templates folder rather
than on your desktop or elsewhere.

folders see http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.

AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, macros, etc.
