refreshing toolbar

[Paul Bishop]

Some of my VBA code is triggered by a button on the toolbar. The user is
expected to create a new document from a template that includes the button.
The trouble is, the button does not become visible until the user switches to
another document and back, which presumably repaints the toolbar. Is it
possible to avoid requiring this workaround by the user? How can I
explicitly refresh the toolbar so as to make the button appear?

First time I can ever remembering hearing something like that... That a toolbar
needs to explicitly be shown (View/Toolbars), yes. But switching back and forth?
Hmmm.

Is it possible that the user has once had a toolbar of this name in their
Normal.dot? Sometimes, Word does odd things if things were created then deleted
in Normal.dot, and the same caption crops up again in another document or
template.
