I am not sure Adobe is the real culprit Jan 4, 2006

You will get similar behaviour with other add-ins in Word - from my point of view, MS Word's way of dealing with custom menus and toolbars is not very well organised; namely, if the programmer does not very carefully take care of the ones that may already be present (and it is not very easy - we can take it for a difficult feature or bug of MS Word, whichever you prefer; and I am not sure you can do it in a 100% reliable way), the older ones get easily lost.

My experience has taught me not to rely on MS Word preserving custom menus and toolbars; I have come to resolving the issue in alternative ways.

Probably the RoboHelp toolbar Jan 4, 2006

Indeed, I don't believe it's Acrobat that is the culprit. Perhaps it's RoboHelp, whose trial version I have installed recently.

I have three pcs with Trados (one of which is a laptop) and in the other two there's no problem. I compared the Word setup in all, and it seems RoboHelp is the only difference.

But how?

When its trial period is over, I'll uninstall it and report on my findings, hopefully positive ones...

Thanks all again for your gre

Trados 7 (new 7.1) / Word 2003 / XP
-----------------------------------

This is similar in nature to a 'neighbouring' problem, but not exactly.

I do see the Trados icon in Word as well as the Trados menu, but the Trados toolbar does not appear (even after clicking the Trados icon).
While I can work with the keyboard shortcuts well enough, I was hoping someone may enlighten me about this problem.

Thanks, Doron


Hi, Doron,

Running this macro has helped us with a similar problem.

It might be worth trying:

Sub RestoreTradosToolbar()

Dim objToolbar As CommandBar
Dim colToolbars As CommandBars

Set colToolbars = Application.CommandBars

For Each objToolbar In colToolbars
Debug.Print objToolbar.Name
If objToolbar.Name = "TW4Win" Then

objToolbar.Enabled = True
objToolbar.Visible = True
Exit Sub
End If
Next objToolbar


End Sub

I don't recall having seen this solution in the forum or in the Trados KB, however, but maybe I'm wrong.

Daniel


Thank you guys very much. My similar problem have been solved at last!

Downgrading to v.6.5 helped... Feb 2, 2006

First of all, I'm glad that the macro helped at least one other guy here.
I "solved" the problem temporarily by downgrading to v.6.5 where the toolbar is back on in its full glory...

It worked for me, after uninstalling PDFmaker I could see the Trados menu, but not the toolbar. Now I have everything!
Thanks a lot!

Well we're seven years down the line and this solution still works, even with Word 2010.

Used workbench today for the first time in a very long time, for a file with footnotes on just about every page. Had no idea how to get the Trados toolbar back when it disappeard form Word add-ins but your marcro did the trick. So thank you for sharing!

Kind Regards,

Ivana
