Hello all:

I've looked through the newsgroup and don't see this addressed, unless
I've missed it. The problem is that my displayed toolbars don't expand
to show all buttons and don't expand to the width of the window,
regardless of how many buttons are shown. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks.

Hi Bruce:

Yes:  Drag them.

I know:  You've tried it before, lotsa times :-)  Try it again :-)

This one caught me too.  First make sure the toolbar in question is
correctly docked, then drag its bottom right corner.

To dock a toolbar, drag it by its top left corner down the screen, then
slowly drag it up to the left until it snaps into place.

Cheers

If you mean the "buttons" that appear in a menu when you click the right end
of a toolbar then I'm afraid you've been deceived. They aren't really
buttons and you can't expand the bar to display them. If you want them added
to the bar you need to go to Tools>Customize>Customize  Menus & Toolbars and
add them from the Commands page there. If you add a command that is in the
drop-down menu it will appear on the bar as a button & removed from the menu
at the same time - IOW, it won't be in the menu any longer once you add it
as an actual button.

As far as the width of your toolbar relative to window size, there is no
correlation - the max length of any bar is determined by the controls it
contains. The bars don't scale up/down based on window size, they remain
constant regardless of the width of a window.
