I have created the custom toolbar, but need to attach is so that when the
template is emailed the toolbar will appear - even if it's not previously set
up on their computer.
I have the template as a .doc as I understand it is not possible to attach
custom toolbars to .dot that will work in the way I wish
Does anyone know how to attach the toolbar?

Many thanks

Try the following: Copy the toolbar to your template (using the
Organizer). Send the template to the people who need it. As soon as they
create a new document from the template they should see the toolbar,
too.

When you define a new toolbar, there is an option to select which template
(default Normal.dot) you want to attach it to.

So open your custom DOT file and attache the toolbar to it. The toolbar
will then be available to anyone who uses your template

Many thanks.

The tool bar travels with the file now with no problem.
As far as I can see it may need to be turned on on each individual
computer....but I'm hoping with a little instruction the users might manage
that!
