PDF Toolbar - how to remove on startup?

[Guest]

I have installed Adobe Acrobat on my machine, and it puts PDF Maker in the Word Startup folder - fine. Thus, when Word starts I have the PDF Maker running - fine. However, the PDF Maker automatically adds a toolbar to the toolbars when I start Word - not fine

Is there a way to change the settings (on Normal.dot?) that will allow the PDF Maker load when I start Word, but that will not automatically show the PDF Maker toolbar? Now, I have to manually go to the View>Toolbars menu item and 'de-select' it every time I open Word. I'd like to have the option to show the toolbar, but only when I want to

Thanks
Rick

Thanks Graham -

That worked like a charm. I used Method 2 and changed the delay time to .01 to reduce the lag. I get a little 'flutter', but it's certainly acceptable.

Regards,

Personally I prefer to park the toolbar as indicated at the start of the
page.
The time delay may need to be lengthened if you have more add-ins loading in
the future.
