Does anyone know of a reg hack (or other method) to set the toolbar
(Standard and Formatting) to default to the "Show buttons on two rows"
option/setting?  I have looked all over the place, yet I cannot find
anything to set this (outside of clicking on that option when I open the
application).  I am working on a fairly large Office 2003 rollout, and I
would like to have this set as a default (as some users may otherwise get
confused/panic).

If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.  THANKS in advance!

Try this if you haven't already:
Tools Menu --> Customize
Select Options Tab.
The top checkbox should be just what you need.

Darren,

Thanks for your reply -- I appreciate it.  However, what I am seeking is
something to "preset" that setting so that I do not have to instruct
approximately 5000 users on making that setting within each MS Office 2003
application.  I want to "turn that function on" in the package that is
being pushed out to the desktops.

Again, thanks for for effort and suggestion.

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/AdaptiveMenus.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm. They don't answer
your question but may give you a head start in finding the answer.

If you find the command on your own, please write back because it would be a
good addition to one of those pages.

Is no one reading the OP's question? He knows how to set this manually; he
wants to know how to do it programmatically or administratively!

Yes, I am reading it. One of the linked pages discusses how to control other
settings programmatically or administratively, just not the particular
setting, which is why I suggested it as a starting place. I used the object
browser to try to find the control, but was unable to do so. Like that for
dynamic menus, it may be buried.

Thanks for the ideas.  I will look into your suggestions.

As you can see from the unhelpful answers you've received, this may not be
the best venue for your question. Try asking in
microsoft.public.office.setup.networking.
