[Solved] Move Toolbar between applications

[liquidcool123]

I created a custom toolbar in Writer. I would like to have my toolbar available in other applications like Calc or Impress too. Is there an easy way to transfer it between applications? So far, I have been re-creating it in each application but this is rather tedious. Thanks!

Maybe you can tweak the configuration files of each application and to paste the new code linked to the custom toolbar in the other files (see [Tutorial] The OOo user profile).

Change a toolbar, close OOo and the quikstarter and with your file browser, search the last modified files, then see a similar configuration file for the other applications. They are usually XML files so you can easily edit them. You've to spot what has been added when creating a new toolbar.

Please add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.

That worked amazingly well. Thank you. The toolbar file was buried - on my mac: user/config/soffice.cfg/modules... then I selected writer and the toolbar folder. The file was actually called something like "custom toolbar." Moving that file to impress transfered my entire toolbar. Thank you!

In addition, reading your tutorial helped me understand how to transfer my profile & settings. I hate having to re-config each instance of OOo that I use; now I won't have to. Thanks again!
