(When Graham says "Explorer," he means "(My) Computer." Folks who have
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?
