MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / September 2005Keep loosing personal toolbars & menus !!
Hi, Word XP-2002 I keep loosing personalized menus ( for calling functions I frequently use and some macros) and a personalized toolbar ( for frequently used formatting options) That never arrived before Using Kaspersky AV but have deactivated all VBA macros monitoring and problempersist if I unload KAV Same if I unload SpySweeper and ZoneAlarm 6 Any idea ? If I restore with a backup copy of normal.dot all is OK But after 1 or several closing of Word again one or all personalized menu-toolbar disappear ( in fact they are there, but empty ) ???? TIA ! See http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm followed by http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm and if necessary the last section of http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm which between them cover all the trouble shooting tips that are likely to cause problems. I would also suggest that you move your toolbar and the associated macros to a global add-in template which will reduce the likelihood of the issue repeating itself.

Thanks ! Will inspect carefully those links ! It is so annoying to regularly loose customizations you more or less painfully acuqire over the time. There also seems to appear a problem in normal.dot after a while, since sometimes this ends up in an error message when starting Word, and then Word. When I want to restart it asks to restart in safe mode : it is then OK ( as when I try winword /a), but as soon as I restart normally problem appears again. Sole solution I have found is to erase normal.dot and replace with a backup one. Then after a while I loose menus/toolbars then Word crashes at start adn so on in a loop. Evidently "something" corrupts my normal.dot -> loose custom parts -> too much corrupted : Word crashes But what, "that is the question" Thanks for the links !

Hi, have found following forum thread for Acrobat 7+ which we use, with their add-in .com as you cite in your site. Applying the code they suggest "seems" to work for today. Will see if works longer. Anyway am interested by your suggestion to use global add-in template, but don't know how to proceed Regards Phil > Thanks ! > Will inspect carefully those links !
