Can I Export custom style bars and buttons

[Graham Mayor]

Custom toolbars are saved in normal.dot unless you dictate otherwise. You
can copy them to another template using the organizer Tools > macro > macros

organizer. If they call macros, you will have to copy the macros also. The

organizer copies by module.

Hello,

I would like to export my custom style bars and buttons that I created on
one machine for use by others on another machine.

Is it possible to export custom style bars and/or buttons?
Are the style bars and buttons stored in Normal.dot, or is there another
file with information on the custom style bars?

A toolbar can be stored in a document or template. By default, if you
didn't explicitly select a location when you created the toolbar, it
was saved in normal.dot.

If you want someone else to get access to a certain toolbar, just copy
it to a template and distribute that template.

To move a toolbar between files, use the Organizer. To display the
Organizer: On the Tools menu, click Templates and Add-Ins. Click the
Organizer button.)

Correct, normal.dot does hold this information.

I usually save my .dot as something else (like <name>.dot).
Then save the original normal.dot as <old Normal.dot>.
Copy the new one as normal.dot. This ensures that you have not lost the old
as well as having Word open with you new bars.

Best of Luck

You will have nothing but grief if you try to infringe Word's monopoly on
creating Normal.dot.
