Toolbars/Menu and Macros

[Sharon]

First, (not sure if this is relevant or not) I have turned off the Adobe
Acrobat Toolbar by going to regedit and changed the Load Behavior to 0.

I have added three additional menus to the standard toolbars. I have
created macros and have added these macros to the new menus. My problem is
that the "Normal.dot" does not always save itself correctly. When I open
Word and try and access the menu and choose a macro, the menus get hung up
and I get an error message or items have "jumped" from one menu to another.
The reason that I disclosed about the regedit for Adobe is that sometimes the
Adobe toolbar items are on one of my custom menus and all the other items
have switched to another custom menu.

This has been an ongoing problem and has caused a lot of wasted time. Can
anyone tell me why this continues to happen. I have done a system restore
save so that I can save the toolbars and menus just as I do them, but when I
go to the restore point it doesn't fix it. Any suggestions?

I did this already:

To prevent the add-in from loading, edit the Windows registry. Locate the
key[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\PDFMaker.OfficeAddin]
and change the subkey called "LoadBehavior" from a value of 3 to 0.

which does work to correct the Adobe Tool problem, but the custom toolbars
continually get messed up.

It would be better to simply uninstall the add-in, if you are not going to
use it (see the notes in red on the web page) - and if you are not then you
could have saved a lot of money and installed (say) PrimoPDF. The add-in is
required to provide the full functionality in Word.

The page also offers some insights as to how add-ins are loaded.
