You can't but you can make a stab at it. With your template open, open the
customize dialog box under the tools menu. Make sure that save changes in
indicates your template rather than normal.dot. Uncheck all of the toolbars
except your toolbar. Close the customize dialog and save your template. That
is stage one.
Stage two is a combination of AutoNew AutoOpen and AutoClose macros.
These can be easily blocked by macro security.
In the AutoNew / AutoOpen procedures you want to store any current settings
so that you can restore them in an AutoClose procedure. You can position
your toolbar as you want it and disable all other toolbars and make them
invisible.
Remember that you are messing around with the user interface in a big way.
People don't like it when all their menus disappear so it is up to you to
make sure that your changes only change your document and not Word.
Otherwise, if you are lucky you'll just get fired. This means make the
customization context your document. It means making sure you don't make any
changes to normal.dot. It means that when your document is closed, any
changes that were made to the interface disappear with the document. I'm not
sure I would want to attempt it, but you are welcome to try. Once you have
some code, post in the vba.customization newsgroup with any questions or
problems.
