Default Lock toolbar position

I have added the Blogger toolbar to Word 2000 and it works a treat. However
I want the toolbar docked in a particular position, but it persists in
returning to the initial place every time I start Word. Is there any way to
lock the darn thing into place, maybe like IE6 toolbars? Thanks heaps.

Hi Peter,

This sounds as if the toolbar position may be set by the Addin supplying it.
I'm not familiar with the tool, but I'd try asking the "supplier" (whoever
wrote the Addin). If it's hard-coded into the Addin (because it's recreating
the toolbar each time), then there's nothing you can do to make Word "save"
the position, although you could, conceivably, write a macro to reposition it
once Word has finished loading.

Thank you Cindy. I have sent the question to Blogger support and will
post back here when I hear from them.
