Custom toolbars not staying docked where I want them
I've created a couple custom toolbars, and I've weeded out the other
menu buttons that I don't want in the other, more standard toolbars. However, when I open documents, there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason where my new toolbars will doc in the menu area at the top of the screen. Sometimes they are where I put them, and sometimes they are more spread out and even take up more lines of screen real estate. How can I get my toolbars to behave and always open where I want them? Thanks. Frank |

Custom toolbars not staying docked where I want them
Hi Phrank,
I've created a couple custom toolbars, and I've weeded out the other menu buttons that I don't want in the other, more standard toolbars. However, when I open documents, there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason where my new toolbars will doc in the menu area at the top of the screen. Sometimes they are where I put them, and sometimes they are more spread out and even take up more lines of screen real estate. How can I get my toolbars to behave and always open where I want them? There's really no good way to achieve this, especially if your menu bars aren't located in Normal.dot, or if you have Addins or other templates that display a set of their own toolbars. You can achieve a bit of control using macro code, manipulating CommandBars by setting the RowIndex, Priority and Left properties. But there's no way to "set them in stone" or get 100% predictability. There are one or two toolbars I dock at the left or bottom of the screen, for this very reason.

Custom toolbars not staying docked where I want them
I finally put a macro in the templates holding some of my toolbars that puts
them in a particular place when the holding template is first accessed. To do it, I first positioned them where I wanted them and the used the vba editor's immediate window to query positions. Then I wrote a macro to put the toolbars there. You need the name of your toolbar to do this. Query statements: ? CommandBars("MyToolbar").Left ? CommandBars("MyToolbar").Top In a document template, I would put a procedure in AutoOpen and AutoNew to park the toolbar in that position. In a global template, it would be an AutoExec macro. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!
