How can I customise my toolbar without word losing the info?

[Sarah Reynolds]

I have added the "Close" icon to my toolbar (i ahve even created a new
toolbar called "Close"), but as soon as Word closes it loses the change.

I have done this change many times before, and word has always kept my
changes.

If you have Acrobat 7 installed, see the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm

I have Acrobat 6. I looked at the link, and I don't think it helps.

Thanks though!

After you change something in Word and close it are you prompted to save the
Normal.dot? If not, go to Tools | Options | Save and tick that box and see
if that helps you.

If you are on a network, check with your IT department and see if they are
rewriting normal.dot each time you log in. (Not nice!)
You can save your customizations in a separate file. See
http://addbalance.com/word/movetotemplate.htm for step-by-step instructions
on moving / sharing / copying / backing-up customizations including
AutoText, AutoCorrect, keyboard assignments, toolbars, macros, etc.

There are some fault conditions caused by Word crashes that can affect
Word's ability to save normal.dot.
Close Word. Close Outlook. Press CTRL+ALT+Del and under 'processes' check
that there are no instances of Winword.exe still running. If there are,
close them.

Attend to the mess caused by the crash
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm
Reboot and restart Word. It should now save normal.dot again.

Unless of course this relates to your other question about the Acrobat
toolbar which is placed by the Acrobat add-in and nothing to do with Word.
For that you need to go back to the
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm link and refer to
the parts about Acrobat 6.
