I have gone through the MS help cite and have not been able to find a
way to set my favorite toolbars to remain permanently attached to the
template I use. The help file told me to go to templates and add-ins
and to select Toolbars. But no toolbar ever shows up there no matter
which template of file I choose, yet I know that the templates I use
have associated toolbars -- just not the ones I want. Thanks MVPs!

Sorry I was not clear. I am running Word 2003 and Adobe Pro 8.1.0 in
case that makes a difference.

I can make the changes to which menus are visible (using tools >
customize > toolbars / reset) and as long as I remain in Word (even if
I write out the current buffer and delete it and then open it again).
But as soon as I exit Word the toolbars change back to some default
setting next time I launch Word and open the file. I have tried to
attach the toolbars I want to the template (normal or others). When I
hit reset toolbars it looks like it does it but it does not stick.

This looks like the add-in templates are resetting things.

I tried to make the change through templates and add-ins > Organized >
toolbars, but no toolbars appear in the Toolbars tab no matter which
file I open.

Toolbar information is stored in the registry. The registry key may be
corrupt. Rename it and see if that effects an improvement.
http://www.gmayor.com/my_toolbars_are_missing.htm or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm . Custom toolbar
settings are stored in the template (by default normal.dot).
Why are you clicking 'reset'? I would have thought that would be the last
thing you needed to do. Position the toolbars and save the template.
