Does anyone know how to clear the "web toolbar history" in Office 2004?

Thanks,

Hey Clive

The very first thing that happens when you apply the latest update to
Office, is a Window comes up with a message. "Do you wish to disable
"ALL" Macros". with a choice of Okay or Continue. Continue means no
finish the install.

If you need a Macro for you answer to work wouldn't that defeat one of
the new security features?

Hello Phil,

One way is to get rid of the web toolbar altogether.

Here's an excerpt from some notes on the way I use Word for the Mac, titled
"Bend Word to Your Will", which are available as a free download from the
Word MVPs' website (http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html):

WEB TOOLBAR, TO STOP IT APPEARING WHEN CLICKING ON TOC OR OTHER HYPERLINKS

If you have long documents in which you click on the page number in the
Table of Contents to get to a topic, the Web toolbar appears. Usually you
don't want it to appear.

To get rid of the web toolbar, you have to install a macro, and you'll
probably put it in the Normal template. Here are the details:

For instructions on installing macros generally, go to:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/CreateAMacro.htm

[If you are using Safari, you will have to click on the circular arrow
("reload the current page") button a couple of times.]

The article is about Word on the Windows platform, but Word on the Mac works
much the same (use the Option key where the notes refer to the Alt key).

Copy this into the new macro window when you get that far:

Sub ToggleWeb()
With CommandBars("Web")
.Enabled = Not .Enabled
End with
End Sub

The macro "toggles" the toolbar, i.e. it turns the toolbar on the first time
it runs and turns it off next time. Once you have installed the macro,
choose Tools menu => Macro => Macros => scroll to "ToggleWeb" and click
"Run". Repeat if the toolbar does not disappear. Word will remember the
setting and you will not see the toolbar again while this Normal template
continues in use.

Thanks, Phillip ­ that's useful to know.

I haven't yet installed the latest update. ;-)

I'd be *lost* without my time-saving macros, even though I'm not an advanced
writer of them by any means. This particular one doesn't save time, but it
saves a lot of irritation.

Cheers,

Clive

Hi Phil:

If memory serves, you need to start Microsoft Internet Explorer and clear
the Cache in that program.

It's an awful long time since I have used either the toolbar or IE

Its the 11.2.3 update and it happened both on my install on my desktop
using OSX.3.9 and my install using X.4.7 on my 17" Lap Top Powerbook.

I've never knowingly opened or used macros. never did anything to need
them. But was same message both times evidently its a new security
feature that you can disable all macros.

That's interesting: I didn't get that. And I have LOTS of macros
