The following sample Visual Basic macro searches for all active toolbars (CommandBars) that are not visible on screen and docks (moves) them to the top of the active document window. Sub DockCommandBars

Dim cBar As CommandBar Dim intHres As Integer Dim intVres As Integer

' Get screen resolution. Subtract 60 from each screen dimension ' to account for toolbars that are barely visible on the screen. intHres = System.HorizontalResolution - 60 intVres = System.VerticalResolution - 60

' Loop through each CommandBar in Word. For Each cBar In ActiveDocument.CommandBars

' If the CommandBar is beyond screen limits, then ' dock the CommandBar to the top of the Word window. If cBar.Top > intVres Or cBar.Left > intHres Then CommandBars(cBar.Name).Position = msoBarTop cBar.Visible = True End If

Next

End Sub To dock a single toolbar, type the following line in a blank macro and run the macro: ActiveDocument.CommandBars.Position=msoBarTop where is the name of the single toolbar you want to dock.
