Share my toolbar

[Lars]

Hi there,
Ive made a toolbar and I would like to share it with the rest of the company.
How can this be done ?
Group policy would be nice...

Any suggestions appreciated

Hi Lars,

What version of Word are you using and is this a toolbar you saved in a specific template or ?

oh sorry...
Office 2003 sp3 it is.
The toolbar is saved in normal.dot didnt know if I should do it different.
its just a toolbar with buttons that runs macros to open letter templates
nothing fancy.

should i create a template for this toolbar and then publish ? I would have
loved if I could just publish it throug group policy on the domain...

thx Bob

You cannot share the Normal.dot file among multiple users in Word
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=811468 Put the toolbar and relevant
macros either in a shared global template or probably better still in the
document template that uses them.

ok so I have to look after how to "share a global template"
is that the answer ?

 

[Graham Mayor]

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/DistributeMacros.htm. As macros are
stored in the same place as toolbars this should point the way.
