I am troubleshooting and need to easily identify any custom toolbars that
the user has added to Word.

Are they kept in a certain place, or perhaps I can identify them form the
default toolbars somehow?

Thanks!

Toolbars can be added in the default normal.dot template, in add-in
templates, in document templates and in documents themselves.

If you are trouble shooting - start with

Try this:

'_______________________________________
Dim MyToolBar As CommandBar

For Each MyToolBar In CommandBars
If Not MyToolBar.BuiltIn Then
MsgBox MyToolBar.Name & " is a custom toolbar."
End If
Next
'_______________________________________

But be careful because this will also catch toolbar that were added by
add-ins, such as Adobe Acrobat....

You can also check MyToolBar.Context.
This should usually be Normat.dot for toolbars the user has added, and the template if it was added by a global template.
Add-Ins often add their toolbars to Normal.dot temporarily, so .Context doesn't always help.

Greetings,
Klaus
