Hiding the review pane

[Laurel Thomason]

Hi,

I'm using office 2k,and every time I insert comments, the Review Pane
crops up, which is annoying. It didn't used to do this. What angry
and vindictive gods of Redmond have I offended?

The following macro in your Normal.dot template will keep that bugger
turned off.
If you have trouble with the Web toolbar showing up when you click a
hyperlink copy the CommandBars line and paste it below the other one and
change "Reviewing" to "Web"
I have both in mine because the Web toolbar kept jumping up in WD2002.

Sub AutoExec()
CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = False
End Sub

Hi, thanks for the macro. I followed the instructions and pasted the
macro into the vb editor and assigned alt-p to it, and tried it out
and it didn't affect the reviewing pane. The other odd thing is that
the reviewing pane didn't originally come up when I inserted comments,
only after I assigned the macro to alt-I. Curious...

But thanks, and I'll keep trying different things. Right now I just
close it quickly using alt-c.

I tried your macro and also this one:

Sub AutoExec()
With CommandBars("Reviewing")
.Enabled = False
.Visible = False
End With

End Sub

Yet the reviewing panel keeps opening, taunting me. My brain hurts.
