Savings Macros and Changes to Toolbar

[Joan]

In Word 2003, new macros are lost when program closes, as are modifications
to the toolbar. Help.

My guess is that you have Acrobat 7 installed. It interferes with Word's
ability to save changes to the normal.dot template. You can save macros and
toolbars in a different global template. 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.

Otherwise, if you hold the Shift key down when clicking on the File Menu,
you'll get a Save All command. You can use this to save the normal.dot
template. See Graham Mayor's page on getting rid of the PDFMaker toolbar for
other suggestions.

If you have Acrobat 7 installed, see the very last section of

Thank you Charles/Suzanne: This sounds like a real possibility. Will pass
along your advice to our organization's help desk. They have been puzzling
over it too. We do know it is not a problem on everyone's PC here, just a
few. So your response makes sense.
