Can't get rid of Mailmerge toolbar

[John W.]

Every time I load a new document from my newly designed template the
Mailmerge toolbar menu appears at the top taking up valuable screen
space.
I save the template with the Mailmerge unticked and not in sight but
it re-appears the next time I load a document from this template.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks
John.

Hi John,

Every time I load a new document from my newly designed template the
Mailmerge toolbar menu appears at the top taking up valuable screen
space.

it re-appears the next time I load a document from this template.

Unfortunately, you don't tell us which version of Word this is, so
it's difficult to judge exactly what the circumstances are. I'm
guessing it's Word 2000 or earlier. In this case, your template is
flagged as a mail merge main document, so the toolbar will appear
automatically.

Go to Tools/Mail merge and in the first step select "Restore to normal
Word document" from the end to the list "under" that button.

Thank you for your reply Cindy.
Sorry for not saying the version, you were correct, it is Word 2000.
Your reply has fixed the problem.
Thanks once again.
Kind regards
