    Put the template (.dot file) containing the command bar and macros into the Word Startup folder. Whenever Word opens the template will be loaded as well and the command bar and macros will be available. The Startup folder depends on your version of Word, but the location can be found by going to Tools > Options > File Locations > Startup > Modify.

    The default location in Word 2003 is C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

    Hi Shay,

    Here's some info from our support engineer:

    I am sorry for the delay response. Base on my understanding, our partner wants to add buttons onto Word toolbar by VBA. Here’s my update regarding the partner’s issue.

    1. Please ask our buddy refer to following articles:

    WD2000: How to Create a Macro That Adds a Command Button with Code to a Document

    2. Please ask our buddy to take care of the security settings and enhancement in Office.

    Macros and add-ins do not run when security is set to High in PowerPoint 2003, in PowerPoint 2002, in Word 2003 and in Word 2002

    Personally, I don’t suggest the partner overwriting/changing Normal.dot on the client machine. If possible, I suggest having his own Word templates instead. J Anything unclear, just feel free to let me know. Thanks.
