Post subject: Can't Customize Word's Toolbars
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>customization>menustoolbars (more info?)

I'm working in a W2K/Office 2003 environment and am not able to customize my
toolbar in Word. I'm able to customize my Outlook, Excel, and PPT ones, but
not this one. I've gone through the KB and looked for the fixes and have
tried them all (renaming Normal.dot, renaming the registry entries, logging
in as an admin, removing and reinstalling Word) but none of them have worked.
Is there something that I'm missing? If you have any ideas, I'd be happy to
hear them!

Can't customize or can't save customizations?

Sorry about that. I can customize the toolbar fine but when I close Word,
the changes don't save.

If you have Acrobat 7 installed, see the last section of this page:

Hi. Thanks - that's a great link.
I tried the one in Control Panel - changed Acrobat so it doesn't come up in
Outlook.
In Excel, when I customize toolbars and uncheck the Adcrobat toolbar, when I
next opened Excel I got an error message (twice) but only that time - fixed.
In Word there is an Acrobat menu. It doesn't work - it's still there but
the buttons don't work. Any ideas.
I am still figuring out what method to use to avoid the toolbar in Word
(all my toolbars are at the bottom of the screen, and the Acrobat one always
appears at the top on it own) (I don't mind the menu).

Ah, somehow the toolbar is not coming up in Word now - just need to try to
get the Acrobat menu functionality back if you can suggest anything, please.
