Everytime I open a new document, the toolbars are different. How do you lock them so they are always the same throughout all Word Documents?
If by "different" you mean the toolbars you opened last time aren’t all opened this time, that’s because they’re not opened in the template the document is based on.
Since that’s usually Normal.dot, here’s how to fix it there. If your docs are based on another template, or on several templates, do the same with those templates.
1.Close all open copies of Word.
2.Open Word.
3.Click on the File->Save As menu item.
4.In the "File of Type" list box, scroll down to Document Templates and select it. The directory should change and there should be a Normal.dot file in it. DON’T SAVE THE FILE. Click Cancel instead.
5.Click on the File->Open menu item.
6.Select Normal.dot. Normal.dot should become your open document.
7.Open the toolbars you want to have opened for documents.
8.Save the file with File->Save. You may get a warning message about the Global template having been changed. This is OK. Click Yes.
9.Close Word.
Word sometimes leaves the last directory used incorrectly set, so the next time you open or save (especially!) a file, be careful that Word’s pointed at the right place.
That should do it.
