Saving the Quick Access toolbar

[Zoe]

I was wondering if anyone knows where the Quick Access toolbar is saved? I'm
trying to create a standard Quick Access toolbar for our users, and in the
previous versions of word i would customise the toolbar and save it to either
the normal.dot or a global.dot in the workgroup location.
But in 2007 each user builds their own Quick Access toolbar. I know its not
saved to normal.dotm, because i tryed saving my normal.dotm to another
computer but it still fired up their personalised QAtoolbar and not the one
saved to the normal.dotm.

Cheers!

Hi Zoe,

You can have more than one segment of the Quick Access Toolbar saved.
The standalone ones are saved in .QAT files (Word.QAT for example) as described here (including their default locations),
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926805?FR=1
but if you use
Office Button=>Word Options=>Customize
look at the drop down on the top right. You can save QAT entries in templates and documents as well.

Both .QAT files and Normal.Dot(M) are intended to be individualized by users.

If you contact MS Product Support there is a method they can provide for deploying .QAT files to support roaming users.
