Is there a way to copy an Office 2000 toolbar to another PC? I'd like to set up a number of PCs so that when I'm training staff on say, Word - they have identical toolbar without having to manually configure each PC.

Thanks.

There are two ways to do this:
1) Use the Office 2000 Resource kit and use the Profile Wizard tool. First create the Office applications you want to standardize (toolbars, preferences, file locations etc.) and run the Profile wizard from the network to create a profile and save it on the network. When you go to another PC, run Profile wizard again, but this time apply the profile to the PC. All office app settings will be changed to the profile settings. This is just one of the components thatis useful for installation and configuration of Office using company-defined standards. You might find a number of tools here useful.

2) If the toolbar is partof the Normal.DOT file (macros must be in the global template), just copy the Normal.dot file to the templates location specified inthe Tools - Options - File Locations:User templates setting.

Hope this helps!

The normal.dot template holds configuration preferences, and it can either be copied from one PC to another or saved and referenced on a networked drive.
