How do I keep toolbars from opening automatically?

[Guest]

How do I keep toolbars from opening automatically? Most of the time I don't
want them and they just clutter up the screen.

Word can be difficult to use without its toolbars - which ones are you
having problems with?
See if http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm and the
examples at the end of http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm point you
in the right direction.

Read in conjunction with the second link I posted earlier, the following
macros in normal.dot should fix it.

Sub AutoNew()
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False
CommandBars("Mail Merge").Visible = False
End Sub

Sub AutoExec()
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False
CommandBars("Mail Merge").Visible = False
End Sub

I am not sure which bar you are referring to as the 'text box' toolbar.
