I am working on a project (and anticipate doing so for at least a few
years!) in which using the outline toolbar is needed every time I open Word
XP. Is there any way to have it appear every time I start Word XP?

TIA

Easy enough :)

Create the following macros in normal.dot -
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub Autonew()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdOutlineView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdOutlineView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

If you also want the master document toolbar (though master documents are
fraught with danger and a frequent cause of document corruption) then change
wdOutlineView
to
wdMasterView
in both macros.
If you already have one or other of these macro names in normal.dot, add the
code to the existing macros.

works fine...but I don't need to open the document in outline view. I am
using outline tools to create a table of contents, which I update regularly
while working on the document. The macro opens the documents in ouline view
with is not needed. I just needed the toolbar.

Try the following instead:

Sub Autonew()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
CommandBars("Outlining").Visible = True
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
CommandBars("Outlining").Visible = True
End Sub
