How do I prevent the reviewing toolbar from automatically startin.

[Guest]

The Reviewing Tool bar is an extra that uses up screen space. I don't need it
or use it for any reason. It is an annoyance I wish to eliminate. How do I
prevent the Reviewing Toolbar from appearing every time I open word or excel?
Just closing it and saving or exiting does not prevent its reappearance.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BanishWebToolbar.htm and substitute
"Reviewing" for "Web" wherever it occurs in the article.
