web toolbar doesn't automatically appear anymore...

[Bob W]

Until recently, with Word 2003, I seem to recall that if I clicked on a
hyperlink that goes someplace else in a document, the web toolbar would
automatically appear, providing a a little green left arrow 'back' button for
easy navigation back to where I came from.

I've noticed lately that the web toolbar no longer appears,
automatically...could I have accidentally changed some setting that defeated
this behavior?

Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate
the Immediate window. Type:

CommandBars("Web").Enabled = True

and press Enter.

Fascinating, Stefan, that seems to have fixed it. Curiously, the macro you
provided that I executed, doesn't seem to show up as a saved macro in my
normal.dot template - (maybe it's hiding somewhere?). When someone executes
an
immediate macro like this, would it get saved in one's normal template, or
maybe is this how someone can make a direct change in Word's global
preferences?

When you use the Immediate window, the macro isn't saved: it is simply being
executed. And note that it isn't necessary to save it, either; running it
once should be sufficient.

If you do want to save the macro, you paste it into a module in the Normal
template (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm).
