MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / July 2007Doc specific toolbar missing in Word 2007
Hi Our software makes use of two types of toolbars: 1) Those create in a dot file that is installed in a User's Startup folder 2) A floating toolbar created in a specific document (this was done so that the functionality of the macro linked to in the toolbar is only available when opening a specific document) When using our software on my machine that has Office 2007 installed, I can see both types of toolbars and use them. A few days ago, one of our users reported not being able to see the document specific toolbar. To test her system, I then created a toolbar in a document with a toolbar and put Word toolbar buttons on it, (Open, Save, etc.). On opening that document, she couldn't see the toolbar. Is there possibly a setting on Word 2007 that she can change to allow a document specific toolbar to be displayed? Many thanks Travis Take a look at the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website: http://www.gmayor.com:80/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

The thing is, on versions of Office 2007 that we've tested the toolbar does show up. There must be a setting on our client's Office 2007 that's preventing this toolbar (and any document specific toolbar) from displaying. I think I'm going to recommend she chat to Microsoft and get them to sort it out... > Take a look at the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website: > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > Many thanks > > Travis If you want to send me the template/document to the link on my web site I will have a look at it.

Basically you can take any document and add a toolbar (by going to Customize->Toolbars->New and then selecting the document instead of a template using Office 2003). Our Vista users will not be able to see this toolbar in Add-ins. Basically it seems to be a bug in Office 2007 as only some users are reporting the problem. > If you want to send me the template/document to the link on my web site I > will have a look at it.

I saved it and then opened it in Word 2007 - no toolbar. I moved it to the trusted templates folder and opened it - no toolbar I created a new document from it - no toolbar. I opened it in Word 2003 and changed the toolbar from default buttons to buttons and text I repeated all the tests - toolbar appeared. I opened it again in Word 2003 and removed the text, leaving the icons - the toolbar still appears. What this proves I cannot imagine :) Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Thanks Graham > [quoted text clipped - 62 lines] >>>>> Many thanks >>>>> Travis Um, that is somewhat bizarre!

When I use Word Options => Customize and add a toolbar button, the only "choice" I have is "For all documents (default)". How do I make a document-specific toolbar?

Any command buttons you add to the QAT relating to the document are only shown when the document is open.

If you want toolbars in compatibility documents then you will have to create them in an earlier Word version. The tools should then be available via the add-ins tab of 2007.
