I have a Word 2003 template for which I created a custom toolbar with 5
buttons. The client migrated to 2007, so I did as well. Some of the buttons
don't work. I want to either delete some buttons or the entire toolbar but I
can't figure out how. Someone please help. I'm near bridge jumping.

I am thinking that if you use File>Open to open the template and then save
it in either dotx (or dotm if it has macros that you still need) format, the
toolbars may be deleted from it.

Alternatively, if you still have access to Word 2003, you could open the
template in that version to modify it.

See the following page of fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website for tips on
running both versions on the one machine.

That's the problem. I open the template but I can't figure out how to delete
the old toolbar. Is there a way to delete a toolbar?

I don't have Word 2003 any more, so I can't delete it from the original
template and then rebuild.

Try this:
To remove it, open the template in Word, open the Immediate window in the
VBA editor, and enter this command:
ActiveDocument.CommandBars("button1").Delete

ActiveDocument.CommandBars("button2").Delete

etc.

Press Enter at the end of it, and then save the template.

Sub ScratchMaco()
Dim oCB As CommandBar
Dim oCBC As CommandBarControl
Set oCB = Application.CommandBars("Custom 1") 'Use your custom toolbar name.
