MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / July 2006Lost Toolbars & Macros xferring Template
We're creating custom Styles, Toolbars and Macros (mostly simple recorded ones) for a new rollout. I had a template in my Word Startup folder called "Rollout.dot" which I was keeping all the pretty toolbars and "nifty" macros (in a module under that document called RO2003). So over the holiday weekend I thought I'd mail home the .dot and do some tweaking, I'm such a company sot. When I open the Organizer to transfer the styles, they were there, however the Toolbars and Macro Module are not. When I specifically open the template I don't get the Toolbars and from the Macro dialog there is nothing there! I've been successfully using that file and the Organizer (which means I had to specifically open that file) to transfer those things to a co-workers rollout.dot so she could test, find any mistakes for me and provide feedback. It's been working great. What happened?! It'll be nice to enjoy the 4th, but I'm such a Scotty sometimes. ~Lori The default save location for macros and toolbars is Normal.dot. Unless you specifically set the save location (what is technically called the "customization context") to your template, they are in the Normal.dot global template on your work computer.

Whenever I make a changes to the toolbar, add/removing or changing images when I close word it prompts me to save the rollout.dot, if I don't during that session no prompt. I use the Organizer and have to intentionally open "rollout.dot" to xfer the files to my co-worker. As for the "normal.dot" I delete that on a regular basis because of testing, yet the toolbars and macros remain. So I know they are not in there. Yet, I mailed "rollout.dot" home and they only the styles exist. ~Lori > The default save location for macros and toolbars is Normal.dot.

This is really a long shot because even if they have Macro Security set to High, the macros would still be allowed if the template is saved in the user templates folder and they have "Trust all installed templates and add-ins" checked, and I can't see how the security setting could possibly affect toolbars. So I'm stumped. SignatureSuzanne S.
