Hi Matthias

Both Graham and Jean-Guy have given you parts of the answer, but they have
complicated things a bit.

Proceed as follows:

For each template whose documents you want to display to the toolbar, copy
the toolbar from your global template to the document template.

When you have done this, delete the toolbar from your global template.

The toolbar will now only be visible when a document based on one of those
individual templates is active. The buttons will work as normal, provided
that the global template is loaded as an add-in. The best way to do that is
for the global template to be put in the startup folder so it is loaded when
Word is started.

That really is all there is to it.

You can then if you wish customise the toolbar for each individual template,
removing buttons that aren't needed for that document type.
