I'm working in a W2K/Office 2003 environment and am not able to customize my
toolbar in Word.  I'm able to customize my Outlook, Excel, and PPT ones, but
not this one.  I've gone through the KB and looked for the fixes and have
tried them all (renaming Normal.dot, renaming the registry entries, logging
in as an admin, removing and reinstalling Word) but none of them have worked.
Is there something that I'm missing?  If you have any ideas, I'd be happy to
hear them!

Sorry about that.  I can customize the toolbar fine but when I close Word,
the changes don't save.

If you have Acrobat 7 installed, see the last section of this page:

Thankyou for the Adobe link. This has been driving me crazy for the last two
days. I have had to save settings on a friends machine and then load them in.
I had almost accepted that limit and then just got too frustrated. Adjusted
the registry key and viola, like magic it works and now my customizations
withstand a shut down. I even went thru changing normal template and was
about to despair.

So once again, a million thanks.

Jacci
