MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / August 2005Normal.dot Does Not Update on Exit
When I exit Word 2003, changes to my toolbars and styles are not being updated in normal.dot. That is, when I re-open Word, the changes are no longer there. The document template (Tools, Templates and Add-ins) is shown as Normal. To simplify matters in my test I removed all templates from the both my templates folder and the Startup folder. I was unable to get Word to even _create_ a normal.dot until I held down the Shift key and chose Save All. Now that it's there, I'm unable to make effect changes unless I again hold down the Shift key. Is there a setting that needs to be changed for this to work properly? Thanks Wil I found the solution to this problem. It is caused by Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and its .com add-in. To fix this behavior you must remove the .com add-in (thus losing its functionality!). It requires going into the following registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins\PDFMaker.OfficeAddin] and changing the subkey called "LoadBehavior" from a value of 3 to 0. > When I exit Word 2003, changes to my toolbars and styles are not being > updated in normal.dot.

Close MS Word after changing normal.com. 4. Change registry settings back to "3". You will have full functionality of the Acrobat 7 .com add-in. Should you need to change normal .com, repeat this process. Jules Sher >I found the solution to this problem. It is caused by Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 >and its .com add-in.
