I've customized my toolbars. They are a combination of the Word default
toolbars, with some items deleted and some moved, plus a few items that I
have added from the "All Commands" menu, plus a few macros I've written,
plus some edited icons.

Is there any way I can export these toolbars and make them available on my
other computer?

Toolbars are saved either with the current document template (usually
normal.dot) or the current document. If you haven't specified otherwise,
yours should be in Normal.dot. You should be able to "export" them simply by
copying your Normal.dot file to your other computer.

For some reason, Herb, that doesn't seem to have worked. I copied
Normal.dot and Class Notes.dot to my second computer. Both opened up with
the toolbars that the 2nd computer has been using. My carefully edited
toolbars from computer #1 were not available.

It's probably a matter of "operator error" ... but ...

Could you please cogitate a bit, and reply back if you can think of anything
else that might be preventing me from transferring my toolbars to computer
#2?
