Custom Tool Bar Cannot be Created

Is there a special Word '.exe' or '.dll' file that my system could now be
missing that (when present) allows creation of Custom Tool Bars.

After many hours of trying to narrow down a freezing problem in Word (of
very recent origin) I discovered that none of my .dot files containing my
extensive VBA coding AND a custom tool bar will load. All other .dots without
custom toolbars load fine. If I try to create a custom tool bar to implement my
VBA routines, the program locks.

I tried restoring Word (I use 97), but to no avail. I have not done a
complete uninstall because I wanted to ask this board first.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am dying here.
