Hi

My understanding of toolbars was if you displayed a toolbar it remianed open
until you choose to hide it. This certainly works with Mail mMerge and
Drawing toolbars. However, with the Outlining toolbar, I have to redisplay
it every time I start Word. Whne you close Word it seems to hide the toolbar
again. Is there anyway that I can configure Word to automatically display
the Outlining toolbar.

Thanks

Is Word set to open in Outline view?

The Outlining toolbar is more closely associated with the Outline view. If
you want it to show on starting Word in other views, then add the following
line to an Autoexec macro in normal. dot

CommandBars("Outlining").Visible = True

and/or add a macro to a toolbar button to toggle the display of the bar on
and off thus:

With CommandBars("Outlining")
.Visible = Not .Visible
End With
