First, new topic should be a new thread with new heading. You are most likely to get the best response.

Second, Word used to have this capability with toolbars (Word 97-2003). It was deliberately removed at the request of corporate IT departments who were being called upon to fix user customizations. What is shown below is Word 2003 with a number of custom toolbars, some of which are floating outside the Word window. Toolbars could float or be docked on any of the four sides of the Word window. Word 2003 can still be found on the Internet.

I can understand the frustration of the IT folks, but their cure should have been user training and internal procedures rather than taking the capability from the rest of us.
