Suzanne, Thanks, yeah, that was the name I was looking for! Quick Access
Toolbar (QAT)
Koja and Whisper, Can you tell me how many buttons you have in the Quick
Access Toolbar (QAT)? How many have you added etc..?
Koja, let me know before you ty to reinstalling office. reinstalling word
did nothing for me, so don't bother. and no, I don't think the version has
anything to do with it.
I may have an answer, but let me know regarding the question above.

I don't have Word 2007 installed yet, but every time I use one of my custom
buttons in Word 2003, I think about how much I'll have to add to the QAT.
The power users have different QATs in different templates, and eventually
maybe I'll figure that out as well.

Resetting the Quick Access Toolbar solved the problem. Thanks!

JT, that worked !!! I did a print screen of my customized access bar so I
could quickly add them back in. Thank you so much, that was extremely
frustrating. But how interesting that the customized bar would have such an
influence. Go figure. I've re-customized the bar and tables still seem to
work OK. Thanks again...Whisper

JT, yesterday the problem seemed to be solved, but I'm working in another
table today and the problem has returned. I did re-customize my Quick Access
toolbar. I'll re-set it AGAIN, but I simply must have my shortcuts !! Why
click 3 times when I can click 1 time? I'm wondering if Koja ended up with
the same problem after she reset her QAT?
Thanks for any help, Whisper

JT,
That did it!!!
Thank you for figuring the problem out... I like what I was setting up and
will watch how things interact in the future.
Thank you again,

Hi Whisper,
I reset the QAT and it cleared the problem, but like you I am used to the
shortcuts and will start adding them again. Because of the problem returning
to your system, I can only assume the there is a conflict with one or more
short-cuts, or the quantity added... I had quite a few. I like the new Word,
but really liked the toolbars in Word 2003 much better, thet were so easy and
quick to use!!
Thanks again and I will post what happens as I start to add short-cuts again.
I apologize for the delay in responding to everyone... I lost my father this
last week and things have been very hectic.
I will try to post soon...
Thanks again for everyone's support,
Koja

Sorry for the really late reply all! I stopped getting notifications on this
thread for some reason.....anyway, if you guys or anyone else is still
checking on this thread, this problem is a confirmed issue from microsoft.
Apparently there is a limit on how many items in the quick access bar. It has
to do with the added value of each shortcut exceeding some sort of limit and
causing the issue. MS said they coudn't say exactly how many shortcuts is too
many because each shortcut may have a different value. So you just kind of
have to add them until you have the problem, then take one off. This is a
pretty bad glitch if you ask me. I hope that they make this one of the
priorites on their updates.
