The toolbars are stored in .dot files. Normal.dot is the default You should not modify the normal.dot, but create your own .dot file. This is the proper way to do it I think... You don't want to mess with someone normal.dot file because if they already have macros and toolbar you could crash their existing programs... When you create your new toolbar (I am using word 2003), word ask for the name and also where to store it. You should save it in your current document. Then you can save your document in : C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP\mybar.dot The folder might be hidden or somewhere else depending of your operating system. Then on Word 2003 you need to manually turn on the add-in using the menu tools templates and add-ins.
