If I can remember correctly, when one opens a .dot file in Word 2007,
any toolbars you have created get added to the Add-ins tab on the
ribbon.

It's then just a question of right clicking on the toolbar located in
the add-in and selecting the command to delete it.

Then save it as a .dotm

....or something like that...
