How can I remove the "full screen" toolbar in word?

[Guest]

While in the full screen mode in MS Word, the "full screen toolbar"
automatically appears and to my knowledge cannot be removed. (Any attempt to
uncheck "full screen" on the 'Tools - Customise - Toolbars' menu is met with
a stubborn beep and nothing more!) Presumably this is to protect users who
could get stuck in full screen mode (and who don't have the sense or spirit
of adventure to try the "esc" key). However, when you are using Word for a
live presentation, it becomes annoying. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Version: Word 2002

Thanks

Try the following macro

Sub FullScreen()
ActiveWindow.View.FullScreen = True
CommandBars("Full Screen").Visible = False
End Sub

This will intercept the command and turn off the toolbar. It works with Word
2003 and should with 2002
