Re: Word 2007 toolbar(s), templates and its user frontage
(1) See http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm.
(2) When you open a template other than Normal.dotm and then go into the
Customize dialog, you can change the "Customize Quick Access Toolbar"
dropdown in the upper right to select that other template as the destination
for added buttons. Those buttons will appear only in documents based on that
template.
(3) You can modify the ribbon, but not with VB. See
http://pschmid.net/office2007/ribbonx and
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Ribbon.htm, among other resources.
(4) Any method that would make the AutoNew macro invisible (either making it
Private or adding an argument) would make it not run automatically. Instead,
use the Document_New procedure
(http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DocumentEvents.htm).

Re: Word 2007 toolbar(s), templates and its user frontage
It isn't because the template was created on a Mac, but because it isn't a Word
2007-format (.dotx or .dotm) template. You can't save a Quick Access Toolbar
button in a Word 2003-format template, either.

Re: Word 2007 toolbar(s), templates and its user frontage
~I have saved one copy of my template as a dotx and another as a .dotm but
Word does not acknowledge them in the QAT.
However, I created a new template in Word 2007 and it shows in the QAT
dropdown menu.
Thanks very much for your help Jay.
