Open a blank document.

Use the Organizer to copy your toolbar and associated macros to the blank
document.

If you wish, delete the macros and toolbar from normal.dot

Save the blank document as a template *.dot.

New documents created on that template will display your toolbar and have
the macros available.

If you want the toolbar and macros available to all documents, move that
template into the Word startup folder. It then becomes a global template.
