Thanks - that's an interesting idea... however, all controls (on this bar)
were created by Customizing the toolbar in Word itself (not by adding
controls in VBA) and so should have been in the Normal template context, and
I've just inspected the commandbar controls and they all seem to belong to
Normal...

The only thing I am doing with these buttons is turning them on and off
alternately (visible true/false) to create a crude animation...

Worth pointing out that when they both disappear from the commandbar
controls collection, at least one is still visible on the command bar itself
(the other one probably still being invisible but "present")

Odd! What's your second best guess?
