Hi all -
I am having troubles with implementing a CommandBar in Microsoft Word
utilizing VB.net. My CommandBar appears when I start Word, but if I open an
existing document, it does not appear. My best guess is that ActiveDocument
isn't getting set correctly, but I really don't know how else to implement
this. I am attaching an external template to avoid making any changes to
Normal.dot, but my code generates the CommandBar. I have included a snip of
OnStartupComple te and OnConnection below for your inspection.
Any help with this would be *very* appreciated. My deadline is in a couple
of hours and I just discovered this little "feature" a couple of days ago
and haven't been able to resolve it.
Thanks!
Josh
