The toolbars issue is incidental. It should not be necessary to uninstall Office 2007 first. They will install into different program folders - but share some default user folders - unless you change them first as in my previous message. The same should apply to Windows 7 - though the dialogs may be different. Very sorry to bother you again but how do I find the user folders for 2007 (and later 2002)? I assume the change is made in the registry because I did not find it on Word Options. I looked in the registry for mention of both folders, including Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Common\Genera l\Office\12.0\ and others but could not find where the template and start folders are specified. Can you help? In Word 2002, go to Tools Options File Locations to modify the User Templates and Startup locations (and possibly the Documents location). To get to the equivalent dialog in Word 2007, click Office button Word Options Advanced, scroll to the bottom of the dialog, and click the File Locations button. The settings in these dialogs are saved in the registry, but only if you change them from the default values. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. Thank you. I did find them on my own and now all is well. Jeff |
