Toolbar Reviewing

[Anthony]

I'm using Word 2002 (actually office 2002 Professional) and this happens on
the other applications.

I do not want the Reviewing Toolbar to show up each time I open Word, so I
uncheck it. About 50% of the time when I open Word, either directly or
opening a document, the Reviewing Toolbar keeps popping up. I do not want
that to happen. Is there a setting somewhere to prevent the Reviewing
toolbar from showing up when opening Word???

Thanks,

Anthony (Running Windows XP Pro)

You'll need to run macro to stop the Reviewing Toolbar from Hell appearing:

Sub ReviewDisable()
System.Cursor = wdCursorIBeam
If MsgBox("Click Yes to disable Reviewing toolbar." & vbCr & _
"Click No to re-enable.", vbYesNo, "Disable Reviewing
toolbar") = vbYes Then
CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = False
Else
CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = True
End If
End Sub

Hi Anthony,

As Terry pointed out the only way to control the Reviewing toolbar is
to use a macro. For Word 2002/2003 you will need to either run the
macro each time Word starts or name the macro AutoExec so the macro
will automatically run each time you start Word.

Unfortunately Word will no longer retain toolbar protection on some
toolbars and it is reset each time Word starts.

If you want to know more about *why* the Reviewing toolbar surfaces
when you open a document and other times it doesn't then take a look
at this article:

Thanks from myself as well. I created an AutoExec macro from the article to
get rid of both the Reviewing and the Web toolbar at startup.
