SYMPTOMS
When you add the New Menu command to a custom toolbar and then copy the toolbar to another template, the New Menu command is visible but fails to function properly. Other command buttons added to the custom toolbar continue to function as expected, as do built-in menus added to the custom toolbar.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do the following:

Method 1: Re-create the Toolbar in the Destination Template
If you have copied the Toolbar to the destination template, delete the copied toolbar and re-create it in the destination template.

To delete the toolbar, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and click Customize.
 * 2) Click the Toolbars tab.
 * 3) Select the copied toolbar in the list of Toolbars.
 * 4) Click Delete.

Method 2: Make the Template Available Globally
Globally load the template in which the custom toolbars were created. To make a template a global add-in, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Templates And Add-ins.
 * 2) Click Add.
 * 3) Find and select the template containing the toolbars.
 * 4) Click OK to return to the Templates And Add-Ins dialog box.
 * 5) Click OK.

This will make any toolbars, AutoText entries, or macros stored in that template available.
