MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / May 20082007 Toolbar Editing
We moved from Office 2003 to 2007 recently. We've migrated our Word macros to a single Global Template and they work fine. Our wee icons now appear under the Add-ins tab and that's ok too. Unfortunately, one user had the macros still saved in her normal.dot and ended up with double icons in the ribbon. Foolishly, I tried to delete the icons but it wasn't apparant which ones were correct and which were the old ones. I thought if I deleted them and reopened Word, the Global.dot would repopulate the tab - aaargh! Wrong! Everyone else sees the icons but for this one lass. I think that I need to reset either a registry entry or a system file to force her copy of Word to reinitialise the icons but I don't know how. Because the Global.dot is shared by everyone, I'd rather not make any further changes to it. Can anyone advise, please? Many thanks Chris (Personally, I find the new system difficult to maintain - we have lost the ability to easily create and edit these toolbars. I feel that this is a bad move by Microsoft and has moved general support into a more technical sphere). Do you still have access to Office 2003 so that you can open the Normal.dot template there and remove the toolbars from it?  SignatureHope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP > We moved from Office 2003 to 2007 recently.

The problem is getting my shared file global.dotm to show the buttons that I accidentally deleted from one user's toolbar. Other users see the buttons but not this person. I was hoping that there was a file, a registry setting or a button I could push that would tell Word "re-initialise all toolbars and addins". In my little fantasy, Word would see global.dotm and say to itself "Ahhh - you have buttons!" and stick 'em in the Add-Ins tab. This may be unrealistic. Fingers crossed.

If you deleted the toolbars, that is you right-clicked the toolbar and selected "Delete Custom Command" then there is nothing to "re-initialise" -- they have been deleted. If this isn't what you did then how did you delete them? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA102295841033.aspx >I do have access to 2003 - I'll do that next.
