Hello,

its annoying about Word that some Toolbars cannot be anchored within the
program. After closing Word and restarting an hour later, many settings(eg.
Grouping-Toolbar) were not saved and anchored and I have to insert them again
The normal.dot is not corrupt. Are there any adm Templates where to
customize such settings in a Domain-GPO?
Where does Word store its toolbars concerning registry? Which value (ID) has
this toolbar?

Thanks in advance,
N. Kuehl

The standard toolbars are stored in the registry in the toolbars sub key of
the Word data key. Custom toolbars are stored in the document or termplate,
by default in normal.dot. If you are saving the toolbar locations with
normal.dot then if they move later it is probably because you are using Word
as e-mail editor and the toolbars are being misplaced by the e-mail bars. If
you set them correctly for both, they should not move around.

Do you know the explicit entries in the subkey, which code represents which
toolbar?
Is there a way to make a custom toolbar standard?

No. Custom toolbars are stored in documents or templates. If you want to
share them put them in a global template in a common startup folder, or in
the document templates for which they are relevant.
