Our students keep moving & changing the toolbar in Word. Is there any way to
lock it?
 
Replace the version of normal.dot that your students have changed to your
own default one - maybe by a log-in script.

Hi Cougar,

Which toolbar? You can do it with a macro:
CommandBars("Menu Bar").Protection=msoBarNoMove+msoBarNoCustomize
CommandBars("Standard").Protection=msoBarNoMove+msoBarNoCustomize
CommandBars("Formatting").Protection=msoBarNoMove+msoBarNoCustomize

The help on the Protection property lists the other types of protection you could apply... adding the constants.
Say, msoBarNoChangeVisible to prevent hiding a toolbar.

If you want to teach how to customize Word, you'd need to remove the protection, though :-)

Greetings,
Klaus
