I wish to install a Word Toolbar, and it seems that an add-in is the way to do it. Currently I am having my users simply locate the Startup directory, and drop in a .dot file that has the toolbar, and the toolbar always appears. But I would like to automate this. What are the best ways to do this? I tried just adding the template under Tools...Templates and Add-Ins, but I find that I have to check it every time Word loads just to get it to show the toolbar. As an interim process, is there a way to add it once and always have it checked? And the last item is that I would like to see this work in Word 2003 and Word 2007. If that is not do-able, I would at least like a Word 2003 solution. Please help!!! Derek

I use Inno Setup with ISTool (www.istool.org), and make an installer for them, to drop them in that directory.
