Toolbar issue in Outlook

[Barry Watzman]

In outlook, I use Microsoft Word as the E-Mail editor.

When composing a new mail message, my system has 3 toolbars open.

Outlook/Word is insisting on putting each toolbar on a separate line,
with one of them below the To/From/Bcc address boxes and the other two
above. This unnecessarily takes up a substantial amount of the vertical
space of the display screen.

Of course I can easily drage the toolbars to any desired arrangement
with my mouse, and that works. But it only works until I close that
particular message. When I open the next message, I'm right back to the
original awful arrangement.

The question is, how can I arrange the toolbars the way that I want them
and then have Outlook "remember" that arrangement and use it whenever I
open another message with the same set of the same toolbars?

If one of those toolbars is a third-party bar, you can't.

One of them is from Adobe Acrobat, which I guess is 3rd party. If I
turn it off (but don't remove it from the system, which I'm not sure
that I even know how to do), will I then be able to rearrange the
remaining two toolbars and have it "stick"?

I don't know. Try it.

Well, if there never had been a 3rd party toolbar, how would one make a
rearrangement of the toolbars "stick"?

If I place the Outlook toolbars, they stick. I have no third-party
toolbars.
