    Locking toolbars in Office

    How can I lock the toolbars in Office? I have some users at work that accidentally move the toolbars (I had done it too, but I can quickly fix it)
    IE has this setting, but I couldn't find it in Office, and I was surprised. Suggestions???

    It would be nice to have that setting. I looked and as far as I can tell you have two basic choices, a floating toolbar or a docked. Floating is inside the window.. whereas docked is on the outer edges (vertical and horizontal). It would be nice to have a feature that would lock a docked word document..

    If you're running OFFICE 2003 or OFFICE XP, there is a save my settings feature in the tools where you can save your office settings from toolbar locations to specific options. Then you can quickly restore if anything goes haywire.

    You might be able to edit the normal.dot or i think there is a msword.startup file, which sets all the toolbars and document properties, so they can move stuff around, but next time start the app, they reset and load the right
