Custom Toolbar Keeps Resetting

[Guest]

I'm using Outlook 2003 with Word 2003 as the e-mail editor. If I add the
format painter button to the toolbar using View | Toolbars | Customize, it
only stays on the toolbar until I close outlook.

I tried renaming and rebuilding outcmd.dat, but it didn't help. I'm not
sure where this toolbar information is stored, Outlook or Word?

Any help that anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

The Format Painter is a Word command.

From the FAQ:

28. I can't save my customizations - AutoText, menus, etc.
Can't save normal.dot...
If you have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed see the last section of
http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm.
Otherwise, hold down the Shift key when selecting the File
menu and select Save All.

Hope this helps,

I found the problem:

If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed, it messes up the toolbars. The
workaround is:

- Change the toolbars as you'd like
- with the "shift" key held dow, select File | Save All

Thats it!
