SYMPTOMS
IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry. Before you edit the registry, you should first make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat). Both are hidden files in the Windows folder.

If you remove the "Switch to Web Browse View" button from the Formatting toolbar and then save the changes to your NORMAL.DOT template, you cannot easily add the button back to the Formatting toolbar.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, versions 1.0 and 1.0z. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

Internet Assisant 1.0, 1.0z
To add the "Switch to Web Browse View" button back to the Formatting toolbar:

 Exit Word.  Using a text editor, such as Notepad, open the WORDHTML.INI file (located in your Windows directory), and add the following lines to the [MISC] section: '''BITMAPBUTTONS=1

MAKETOOLBAR=1'''  Save and close the WORDHTML.INI file. Start Word. On the View menu, click Toolbars. Select the HTML toolbar and click OK. (Note: Also select the Formatting toolbar if it is not displayed.) Press and hold down CTL+ALT while you click and drag the "Switch to Web Browse View" button from the HTML toolbar to the Formatting toolbar. This will copy the button to the Formatting toolbar. On the View menu, click Toolbars. Turn off the HTML toolbar and click OK. Exit Word and save the changes to the NORMAL.DOT template. When you restart Word, the "Switch to Web Browse View" button should function properly.

Note: You can remove the two lines added to the WORDHTML.INI file in step 2 if you do not want the HTML toolbar to appear in the Toolbars list under the View menu.</li></ol>

Internet Assistant 2.0, 2.0z, 2.02b
