I'm running Excel 2003. I installed an Excel toolbar from Avery (for
label-making). I want to change the position of the toolbar. I can move it,
but every time I re-open Excel the toolbar is in the original location. I
also installed the toolbar on Word, but it isn't giving me this problem. How
do I get the toolbar to stay put?

I have the exact same problem (Excel 2002). And besides it not staying
where you put it, it always re-appears every time I re-open Excel even
though I repeatedly UNcheck it from the View-Toolbars list.

Wouldn't be so bad except it insists on making a whole third toolbar row
all for itself. I think I'm just going to uninstall the dang thing.

First you have to determine how Avery is adding the Toolbar.

Is it through an add-in? Uncheck the add-in.

Did Avery stick a file in your XLSTART folder?

What type of file is it?

If an *.xla file, move it out of there and put it in your Office\Library
folder where you can load or unload as you wish.

In my case, it's not included in the list of add-ins you can view thru
the program nor is there anything in the add-ins folder itself.
And there's nothing in my XLSTART folder except for the personal.xls I
added today. Anywhere else to look?

You will have two XLSTART folders.

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE10\XLSTART

Or maybe check in ToolsOptionsGeneral "At startup open all files in"

Only if you have a path entered there.

Elsewise, how did you install the Avery Labelmaker?

You might get an idea from the install routine.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart
is empty and if it's in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\AddIns
it's not going by a name that makes it apparent it's Avery.

"At startup open all files in" is blank.

I installed it so long ago, I have no idea what the process was.
