Sometimes my Bar doesn't appear in MS Word

Hello all,

I have a bar with only a button, and it should appear in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
This bar works correctly on a large number of systems (with different OS, windows 2000, XP and different languages) but, on few systems this bar doesn't appear in Word (but it works on Excel and Powerpoint).

When I don't see my bar, I don't see it also in the Word toolbars list (in Word 2002, menu View -> Toolbars). Even if I try to deregister and register it again nothing happens.

What can I do, or what should I check?

I'm using Add-in express version 2.3 on Delphi 6 professional

Hi Alessandro,

Please check the Disabled Items list. You can find it MS Word -> Help -> About MS Word -> Disabled Items button. If your add-in crashes MS Word then the add-in can get into this list.

Thank you very much Dimitry, my add-in was in that list.
I see that in Ms Word 2000 there is not this button. It means that this problem can exist only with Word >= 2002?

thank you again
A.G.

Hi Alessandro,

Yes, you are right, the Disabled Items dialog is a new feature of Office XP.
