Saving Toolbar layout in Word as an E-mail editor

[SMFX]

I guess this may be more for the Word area, but this only happens when Word
is my Outlook editor.

When I start a new message, the E-mail toolbar is below the Subject text
box. I prefer it up under the File menu, so I simply drag and drop it up
there. However, whenever I save or send that e-mail, the next e-mail is just
back to the way it was; it won't save the window layout at all.

I thought it might be the Normal.dot, so I tried blowing it away and letting
Word recreate it; but no success.

Anyone had any success with the window layout in Outlook when using Word as
the e-mail editor?

Thank you,
