Permanently turning off Adobe PDF toolbar in Office programs

[Nate]

I would like to permanently prevent the Adobe toolbar from automatically popping up when I start Word/Excel/Powerpoint. I can make it go away from within the "Customize" menu but it comes back when I close and restart. Thank you!

Hello Corentin. Thanks for the quick response. However, I can't see a link in your message. Am I missing something?

 

[Daiya Mitchell]

Yes, you are--I see it there. Can you see this one?

Oops, sorry. New forums, sorting out how they work, and then I copied
and pasted the wrong thing. Here you go, for real this time.

Hi Daiya. I can see the link in your second message. Thanks for the help - how did you know?

 

[Nate]

I got a 404 on your second link.

 

[Daiya Mitchell]

And, the ^(&(^*&*&^ forum breaks the link.

Nate, please google for the words "mcgimpsey office pdf toolbar" The
first hit is what you want.

Apologies for all the difficulty, thanks for helping highlight a major
problem that needs to be fixed.

Hi Daiya. I found it and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your help.

how did you know?

Just to explain--these forums do not really live on the web--Mactopia is
just one of many web portals to the newsgroups. You can access the same
forums through Google Groups (which I won't bother linking, cause links
don't work), and many other places. I, however, am using a newsreader,
which basically shows me the forums as though they were email in
Entourage.

Apparently the Mactopia web forums are blocking text that is a link, for
some crackhead, idiotic, ill-conceived, BS reason. But the link showed
up in my newsreader (and google groups shows it right). So I knew
Corentin had put it in right, and then had to experiment to see how I
could get the Mactopia forums to recognize it, since I knew that anyone
posting with an "officeformac.com" address is using the Mactopia forums.

Experiment 1 failed, Experiment 2 showed a link but I had the wrong
link, Experiment 3 showed me that the Mactopia forum F&*s up the link
even when it is written in standard HTML.

Sorry about all that, Nate and anyone else who might be reading.

You're welcome. Very glad to help. Thanks for calling attention to the
issue.

And, suddenly it's working again. All the links are showing up properly,
right back to Corentin's original. That was quick.
