attaching add-ins

[KimC]

I have a document that I created in Word 2003 from a template containing a
custom toolbar with buttons to run macros. After upgrading to 2007, when I
open the document, the toolbar, that should now be an Add-In is not there.
If I open Word Options/Add-Ins, select Word Add-Ins from the drop-down list
and click GO, I can check add-in/template I want and click OK. Then, the
Add-in appears below the ribbon and the macros work properly. If I save,
close, and re-open the document, I have to go through the same procedure to
check the Add-in/template box again. How do I get the box to stay checked so
I don't have to do this every time I open the document?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?S2ltQw==?=,

I have a document that I created in Word 2003 from a template containing a
custom toolbar with buttons to run macros. After upgrading to 2007, when I
open the document, the toolbar, that should now be an Add-In is not there.
If I open Word Options/Add-Ins, select Word Add-Ins from the drop-down list
and click GO, I can check add-in/template I want and click OK. Then, the
Add-in appears below the ribbon and the macros work properly. If I save,
close, and re-open the document, I have to go through the same procedure to
check the Add-in/template box again. How do I get the box to stay checked so
I don't have to do this every time I open the document?

It sounds as if the template is no longer attached to the document. Perhaps it's
in a different location, so the document can't find it anymore?

Go through the same menu path as you describe above. Look at the top of the
Templates dialog box. Is the template (in the path where it's now located)
listed there? Try clicking "Browse" to go the template and select it there.

Is the template in your STARTUP folder?
