Can't Customize Word's Toolbars

Ha! Having found another post that pointed to
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/330/330984.html
I tried Help - About - Disabled Add-ins and Enabled the Adobe one.
That caused some "serious errors".

I renamed my Normal.dot and hey presto, everything's back and working.
Now I have to put all my Normal.dot stuff back as I like it...

It is the early version of Acrobat 7 that is problematical with Word. If you
apply the updates available for that version, it works fine.
You cannot have the fulll functionality available from Acrobat if you
disable the add-in. If you do that you may as well save your money and
install a free clone like PrimoPDF.

Set your Word toolbars to display on two rows and park the adobe toolbar at
the end of one or other row. It takes up half an inch of toolbar space.
