WD98: Custom Toolbar Lost Saving Document as New Template (185772)

SYMPTOMS

When you create a document based on a custom template containing custom toolbars, if you try to save the document as a new template, your custom toolbar is not saved to the new template.

NOTE: To create a document based on a custom template, click New on the File menu, select your custom template and then click Document (under Create New).

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. When you create a new document based on a custom template, custom toolbars from the template are not copied to the new document. Therefore, when you save your document as a new template, custom toolbars are not saved in the new template.

WORKAROUND

Use the Organizer to copy the custom toolbar from your custom template to the document before you save as a new template.

For more information about copying a toolbar, click Contents And Index on the Help menu (or on the Balloon Help menu if you are using a version of the Macintosh operating system earlier than 8.0), click the Index button in Word Help, type the following text

and then click Show Topics. Select the "Use settings from another document or template" topic, and click Go To. If you are unable to find the information you need, ask the Office Assistant.
