"Wonder if the MVP who suggested that to another OP knew that?"
I'm very sure of that one but resetting is sometimes the only way to solve
the issue. I always recommend renaming it to .old so just in case it doesn't
solve the issue you can rename it back .dat
"Back to the irritant. Do you know of any another way to get Outlook to
retain the 'Buttons on 1 line' setting for multiple toolbars?"
When composing a message you can set your Toolbar options;
View-> Toolbars-> Customize-> tab Options. Deselect the top one.
If these are third party Toolbars (from add-ins for example) the location of
the Toolbar is maintained by the add-in itself; not Outlook. So if that
Toolbar is "all over the place" contact the vendor of that add-in.
"Would Word have an impact on the Toolbar options?"
Yes, then the management of Toolbars would be controlled by Word and you
would have access to Word Toolbars instead of Outlook Toolbars.

Also Roady, what were you implying when you asked if I was using Word
as an editor? Would that have an impact on the Toolbar options?
Well Roady, that's nice to know. Wonder if the MVP who suggested that
to another OP knew that?
Back to the irritant. Do you know of any another way to get Outlook to
retain the 'Buttons on 1 line' setting for multiple toolbars?
Or, if I now reset those Customizations in the other screens, will
Outlook remember the 1 line setting that's working?
Thanks for your help.
What complications?
"I noticed that several of the other Outlook screens lost their
Customization settings"
That is normal behavior when you reset the outcmd.dat file.

Using Word or Outlook as the e-mail editor?
I did not select the Options of having Word as an Editor, or to read
Rich text. I recall some complications the last time I selected that
option, several reinstalls ago, so I don't do that any more. I did
neutralize the outcmd.dat file and that solved the 2-line problem, but
I noticed that several of the other Outlook screens lost their
Customization settings.
