Toolbar buttons keep disappearing

[aussie3]

Greetings all,

I'm a self taught user of Word 2003 and there's a heap I don't know.

I like to pick and choose my toolbar buttons but have found that they
keep disappearing on me when I go back to use Word later (I haven't
checked but I think it is when the computer is turned off that this
happens, but can't be sure).

Very frustrating - any ideas/suggestions.

Are you changing toolbars by using the menus "View|Toolbars|Customize
Toolbars/Menus..." and in that dialog window do you pick to "Save In:
Normal" (Normal.dot template) any changes you make?

From the FAQ:

28. I can't save my customizations - AutoText, menus, etc.
Can't save normal.dot...
If you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed see the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm.
Otherwise, hold down the Shift key when selecting the File
menu and select Save All.

Hope this helps,

Yes, that is how I do it, right down to save in normal.dot (which is
the default).
