Floating toolbars in Word 2004

[AgentMoMo]

Version: 2004 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel I've seen a lot of people using Word 2008 couldn't get their toolbars to come up and that there's a solution for that.

I'm using Word 2004 and I want to dock the formatting toolbar rather than have them floating. Any advice?

The toolbars in Word 2004 are floating, and there is nothing you can do
to change that. You can place them close to any corner of the screen,
and they will snap into place, but there is no way to make the toolbars
part of the document window itself. In Word 2008, you can only dock
*some* toolbars, so it's not perfect, either; generally speaking,
though, I prefer the 2008 interface to the 2004 version.

The palettes are floating and there's nothing that lets you change that.

However, you can create your own toolbars using the Customize Menus and
Toolbars feature. The toolbars you create using this feature can be
resized and docked.
