Floating Toolbars -- Please Help!

[husky86]

I originally posted a message to this user group a couple of weeks ago, but
nobody responded. So I’m going to attempt to rephrase the question:

Whenever I respond to someone’s e-mail (or forward an e-mail) Outlook
automatically brings up a number of floating toolbars or floating tool
palettes all over the screen. These floating toolbars are associated with
third-party programs such as Endnote, as well as some of Outlook’s built-in
options/features.

There are so many times where these floating toolbars will appear
immediately over the “text section†of where I need to type in the outgoing
e-mail, so it is necessary for me to manually click on the close buttons of
each of these tool palettes before I can even begin to write my e-mail. This
is getting to be immensely frustrating!

How do I tell Outlook not to automatically bring up all of these floating
toolbars??? I do not want any floating toolbars to be automatically brought
up at any time! Yet I do not know how to tell Outlook how to stop doing this.

Someone please help me!

Thanks!

Outlook's toolbars can be closed using View, toolbars and removing them from
view.

For the others: Are you using word as your editor? Are they word addins or
outlook addins? Do you see them if you use the outlook editor?

Did you try closing them from word? (close outlook and word - verify in task
manager - then open word, close the toolbars and close word.)

Thank you very much for replying to my question Diane. Most appreciated!

To answer your questions: when I go to the View menu and then to Toolbars,
these floating palettes are not listed.

Yes, I am using Word as my Outlook-e-mail editor. These add-ins are
Microsoft Word add-ins, I believe.

Any way that I can get rid of them?

these floating palettes are not listed.

You many need to disable them from the program that installed them.

Yes, I am using Word as my Outlook-e-mail editor. These add-ins are
Microsoft Word add-ins, I believe.

These would be on the compose message window's View menu, not outlook's
shell view menu.

I don't like these little floating toolbars either. Did you get it figured
out how to remove them? I have the same issue - my editor is Word. But,
I'm not able to view them in the Word - View menu. How do I do it, exactly?
