Word Table is Flickering!

I modified the styles in an existing template and also created a customized
toolbar that contained the styles. I emailed it to a co-worker, but the
toolbar was not present or available in the View>Toolbars menu. Did I do
something wrong? If I want a customized toolbar to be attached to a
template, do I have to create the template from a blank sheet, or can I just
modify an existing template? Please help!
 
Hello WTiF

toolbar that contained the styles. I emailed it to a co-worker, but the

Click to expand...

most probable explanation: you did not save the toolbar in the template,
but somewhere else (presumably: your Normal.dot). Observe the dialog
closely when you create a new toolbar: Word asks you where to save it,
and Normal.dot is the default.

Now that it's done, you can go to Tools | Templates and Add-Ins |
Organizer | Toolbars, and copy the toolbar from Normal.dot to any other
template (or document if Word lets you).
