If you turn Word or Excel toolbars on or off, and then close the
program and restart it - shouldn't the same toolbars be on or off, as
they were the previous time? I have a Word 2003 where I will keep
turning off the Drawing toolbar but it will still be there the next
time I start Word.

I also have the same question about positioning the toolbars.

Help --> Detect and Repair.
Have your installation media handy.
 
Think you need to post the question on an office newsgroup, these
applications are not part of windows.

Word stores Toolbar and Menu customizations in Normal.dot

Excel stores them in Excel11.xlb.

Perhaps you do not have permissions to save to those files.

I would find those files and re-name to Normal.OLD and Excel11.OLD

Fire up Word and make some changes then close out.

Does Normal.dot get re-created with your changes?

Same for Excel11.xlb

Why ask here? Surely you noticed the words Word, Excel and OFFICE
were missing from this group's title...or maybe you didn't. It
doesn't matter, my reply is the same..............

Ask elsewhere
