| 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.

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...

Hmmm.... - I do not even have RoboHelp installed, the problem appeard only after I installed Acrobat! Anna Doron Greenspan wrote: Indeed, I don't believe it's Acrobat that is the culprit.

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... Doron | | | sassa Spanish to Greek + ... RestoreTradosToolbar Macro worked! | Mar 15, 2007 |

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

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
