Update Toolbars Using VBA

[JasonEnsor]

Hi,

I am currently running word 2003 and i have created a lovely template file that does most of what i want, however some of my users have created documents from an earlier version of my template. the template has a customised toolbar that i have created attached to it, is it possible to run a macro to open up the documents created from the earlier version of the template and to update the toolbar with the toolbar i have created in the new version of the template. This is because many of the files will be updated and it saves editing if they can utilise the new aspects of the template that i have added to the toolbar.

Many Thanks in advance

Jason

is it possible to run a macro to open up the documents created from the earlier version of the template and to update the toolbar with the toolbar"

Well, yes, but only by opening up ALL documents, and checking if the attached template is the one in question. There is no other way to identify: "the documents created from the earlier version of the template".

However, if it is only the toolbar, if the template file is available, when you open any document created by it, they should show the current toolbar. Other things may need updating, but not the toolbars.
