Where are my custom toolbars in 2007?

[Guest]

I created custom toolbars in 2003 and attached them to workbooks. Now that
I've upgraded to 2007, when I open those workbooks in 2007, I don't see the
toolbars. Can someone please tell me where they are? Thank you.

I already checked there. All I see there are tools to put on toolbars. I
don't see my custom toolbars. Maybe I'm just blind...

They should be on the Add-ins tab.

Ah, there they are! Thank you.

I'm not sure what the advantage of this approach by Microsoft is. The amount
of vertical real estate taken up seems to be more than before when I had only
two rows of toolbars in 2003. Not to mention the fact that a button click now
involves at least one additional click to get to the toolbar...

Thanks to all for your help

As far as I can see, the ribbon is so prescriptive that it may originally
have been intended not to even support the old commandbars. Once they
realised they couldn't get away with that, they just slung it onto an
available (not important in their view perhaps?) tab.

Most things in 2007 require at least one extra click to do it, the biggest
downside to 2007 IMO.
