Default Word Clipboard Toolbar Always Docks Itself

And where on one's computer, praytell, will one find something labeled
"Windows Explorer" or "Windows Vista Explorer"? Not in the Start menu
or in the Start All Programs menu.

My point in several messages these last few days is that the experts
are giving vague hints that will only require the OPs to post again
asking what they mean (as happens very often), instead of explicit
instructions the first time.

Explorer all have an address bar and will work just the same. They are
merely access points into the Windows filing system.

been using Windows for many years don't realize that more recent users
aren't aware of the name "Explorer" having been used for anything
other than the internet access tool.)

It should stay where you left it (and certainly does in later Word
versions) however try the following.


Open the Normal template. If you have not changed the default user
template folder, you will find the template in the folder
%appdata%\Microsoft\Templates


Enter or copy the above into the Explorer address bar.


Move the toolbar to where you want it. Add a character to the text
space and delete it. Save and close the template.


Close and re-open Word. Is the toolbar now where you left it?
