Toolbars in MS Word

[rschaaf]

I am using MS Word 2002 for a few months now, and am annoyed by the toolbars "Web" and "Reviewing" that keep popping up whenever I open a document or follow a hyperlink.

Does anyone know a way to stop this?

View->Toolbars, and uncheck those you don't wish to see?

Maybe I wasn't clear enough...

Of course, disabling these toolbars is what I do all the time. But I am working with many documents every day and disabling the toolbars after opening every new document is annoying.
I know I could empty the toolbars and place them permanently behind the formatting toolbar or wherever where they don't catch the eye, but I'd rather not see them popping up at all.

Make an AutoOpen() sub in a module; OR a Document_Open sub in the ThisDocument module, with something like:

(In the ThisDocument module)

Private Sub Document_Open()
If Application.CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = True Then
    Application.CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Add as many toolbars that are visble and annoying as you need.

This way, when the document opens, the toolbars, if visible, will become invisible.

Thank you for your tip, it is quite useful.

However, it works only for the document that contains this code, and since I am working with thousands of documents, I'd rather permanently disable (or even delete) these toolbars.

Then put it in as an AutoOpen sub in normal.dot. That will apply to all documents.

Same code, but Sub AutoOpen() in a code module.

Well, Gerry and Peter,

Combining your tips did the trick. I placed Gerry's AutoOpen Sub in Normal.dot and replaced "Visible" by "Enabled". This appears to be vital.

Thank you very much!
