Ah! After reading Jonathan's reply, it occured to me that you may not have
known that toolbars customizations are actually stored in templates. From the
way you wrote your question it seems that you have made customizations (for
your macros)to toolbars before, so I assumed that you understood the
underlying principles. When you make changes to the toolbar without
specifying anything in particular as to where those customizations are
stored, they are stored in the Normal.dot template.

If you make changes to a template and place that template in the Startup
folder (Tools > Options... > File Locations tab), then those toolbar
modifications will be available to all documents.
If you just place the template in a regular folder, the customizations will
be vailable only to documents based on that template.
