Further to previous question. Have recreated toolbars. Can't get to place /
do what Charles Kenyon suggests with myglobal.dot - network won't let me or
I'm doing it wrong! Have recreated toolbars and macros but toolbars keep
moving into a long line rather than stacking. Obviously I doing something
wrong. Help please.

Hi Laurina,

I think you are referring to:

When I want toolbars to be in a particular place, I park them with an
AutoExec macro. First, though, make sure you have turned of the "adaptive
menus."
Tools > Customize > Options
Check the box to always display full menus. While I don't use the built-in
Standard or Formatting toolbars because I use my custom versions, if I did,
I would also check the box to always put them on two rows.

The following language in an AutoExec macro (in a template in my Word
Startup Folder) positions a couple of my toolbars that seemed to otherwise
wander:
With CommandBars("Macros")
.Left = 521
.Top = 23
.Height = 28
.Visible = True
.Position = 1
End With
With CommandBars("CDEVTools Kenyon")
.Left = 228
.Top = 23
.Height = 28
.Visible = True
.Position = 1
End With

Note, to get the values for these, I positioned the toolbars where I wanted
them manually and then used the Immediate Window in the vba Editor to get
the values:
? CommandBars("Macros").Left

Hope this helps.
