What to Do If Word Restores Commands You Removed in an Older Version of Word

What to Do If You Want to Copy a Customized Built-In Toolbar Between Templates

Word's Organizer enables you to copy custom toolbars between templates, but it doesn't show built-in toolbars such as the Standard or Formatting toolbar?even if you've customized them.

After you've copied the entire toolbar and organized as it as you want, use the Organizer to copy the custom toolbar.
