Hard to do Roger. Controlling toolbars (called CommandBars in VBA) is like
herding cats: they pretty much go where they want to go and completely
without warning. And just to make things more exciting, there are over 140
CommandBars in the Word 2003 OM - and that doesn't even take into account the
custom toolbars that any add-ins might load up. Trying to come up with a
method that would set and lock the position of them all would be a HUGE task.
And as you've already seen, Word is pretty lax about retaining manually set
toolbar positions on its own.
If you do decide you want to have a go - and I'd recommend that you try it
yourself first rather than expecting someone in the forum to come up with a
total solution for you - you'll probably want to look at the Visible,
Position, RowIndex and (possibly) Enabled properties of the CommandBar
object. You'll need to work out what the "correct" values are each of these
properties for every toolbar concerned, and then write code to reset these
properties to the appropriate values. If you run into problems, post back.
