I've written a small PowerPoint add-in and it works great thanks to ADX (VCL).
However (there had to be one however or I would not be writing in here!), after I added another 3rd party add-in, I noticed that my add-in bar could no longer be positioned on the top row.
I mean, PowerPoint starts with 2 command bars; when I added my add-in, I could position my bar at the end of the two standard ones (I'm running on a laptop with 1680x1050 so I have plenty of room on one row!).
After I added the other add-in, my command-bar would stay at the proper horizontal placement but would refuse to stay on the top row and would be on a row all by itself. If I move it to the proper place, as soon as I re-open PowerPoint, it gets back on the 2nd row but at the horizontal position it should occupy on the 1st row.
Even not showing the bar from the other add-in, mine will refuse to stay on the 1st row. I've unregistered, re-registered my add-in and the same thing still happens.
It looks as it it's placed in row 1.5... I'll explain this a bit more! :)
If I place the bar on row 2, when I click on a picture which will show a picture bar that I placed on row two, both my bar and the picture bar will show on row 2; if I place my bar on row 1 and do the same, the picture bar will appear on row 2; however, if I place my bar on row one, close and re-open PowerPoint, my bar will be shown below row 1, but does not appear to be on row 2 (even though it's completely below row 1), because when I click on a picture, the picture bar will open on a row *below* the one where my bar is...
I do believe this is a PowerPoint (Office?) bug, especially because now it's happening on the Formating bar that I've moved around while experimenting, but does anyone have an easy solution (or even a not so easy one!) to fix that?
Thanks,

Well, I'll answer my own question! :)
Even though I could not find an answer searching the net, I did try the following which resulted perfectly, so that's what I'll tell my customers to do if this happens to them:
- Undock *all* bars;
- Close PowerPoint (or whatever Office app);
- Re-Open PowerPoint;
- Place the bars where you want them;
- Close PowerPoint.
From now on, every time I open PowerPoint, the bars are all in the proper place! ;)
Hope this helps someone having the same problem as I was... ;)
Later,
Fernando Madruga
