Short Version: Is there a way (programatic, scripting, 3d party plugin,
etc.) to create toolbar layout "profiles" and switch between them. I.e.,
have the toolbars on the right and left, and quickly move them to the top of
the window, and back again.
Long version:
I use two monitors at work, one in portrait and one in landscape. I like
the toolbars on the sides when using the portrait monitor, and on top on the
other. I am looking for a mechanism to adjust toolbar layout based on what
monitor a window is on. I am using Word/Office XP, but will probably be
upgrading to 2003 soon.
I am not afraid to script, so suggestions along those lines would be
welcome. I also realize that what monitor a window is "on" is not
necessarily an "either/or", but since I have the windows maximized and just
swap back and forth from one monitor to another using UltraMon, one can
assume that my windows exist on either one window or the other and not both.
UltraMon is script-friendly, and can report on hardware setups -- see

(Plug: if you use multiple monitors, you should have UltraMon, it is the
rare piece of software that just works).
