If your technician has uninstalled and installed a new version, then I'm afraid that your settings are gone.
You might want to check for all (*.xlb) files, the toolbar file for Excel XP for example is Excel10.xlb. Unfortunately I believe that these files are deleted when Office is uninstalled.

Mike, thanks for the explicit info. Now I know what to save in some other folder. The tech said "I didn't know that you could change that stuff!" Because I change the toolbar a fair amount, this info will help in the future, and a star to you for taking the time to respond. Also, I think I can get a copy from a backup.
