My Acrobat icons are missing

[DDL]

Hi - I have Adobe Acrobat installed on my PC, and usually
have Adobe icons in my toolbars (Word, PowerPoint, and
Excel).

However I just noticed that they are now missing in Word,
but the icons are still in PowerPoint and Excel.
Normally, in any of the Microsoft programs I could go to
the TOOLBARS command and see a PDFmaker option, allowing
me to display the icons.

But now even that PDFmaker option is not available in
Word, but it still is there for PowerPoint and Excel.

Can anyone help me get my icons back in Word? I tried
that detect and repair thing, but still no icons. (I
posted on the Word board, but no one answered. boo hoo)

Thanks in advance for any help.

I think it's an acrobat thing. Do you have the original Acrobat CD? If so do
a "repair" from the disk.
(I just did this the other day when acrobat online updates broke my
installation of Acrobat - frustrating especially since my CD was in one
office and I was in another :-( )

Hi Mark - I do have the original Acrobat CD. Can you
please point me in the direction of how to do a repair?
I didn't see an option in the command lines, but I'm not
very familiar with Adobe products.
Thanks much!

Which version of Acrobat? Have you checked in Word under Tools | Templates and
Addins... to see if there is a checkmark beside PDFmaker.dot

Run the installer (Setup?) on the acrobat cd - it will probably give you the
repair option then - or at a minimum reinstall.... (I'm at acrobat 6.0 and I
don't remember if there was a repair with Acro5)

Hi - I'm using Acrobat 5.0

I didn't know about the Template thing, but I just
looked. There are 2 items listed, both are unchecked.
(PDFMaker.dot and PDFMakerA.dot)

There are a bunch of options on that Template pop-up
window. I'm not sure what to do next. Do I just check
those boxes and hit OK?

Thanks for the reply and the help.

Checkmark PDFMaker.dot, and see what happens. If that don't fix things, you
might want to ask in the MSWord NG.

There isn't, but your advice is still right on target. Reinstalling won't hurt
anything and will often repair what's gone missing.
