"Reviewing" Tool Bar Appears

[RickGreg]

Periodically, I open a document and the "Reviewing" toolbar appears at the
top of the screen. It then remains there for any other docs I open or
start. I have not identified a pattern as to when this happens. Seems
random. Any suggestion for keeping this down? Thx.

Hi Rick -

I believe this toolbar appears automatically if you open a doc that has
Track Changes active (or if it contains Comments, IIRC). Unfortunately,
it doesn't go away when you close that doc.

There isn't any specific setting to change the behaviior, although it
could probably be controlled with VBA. It used to bother me, too, but I
just docked it way up on the right so it always reappears there but is
out of the way.

HTH |:>)

Hi Rick:

There are two toolbars that really give me the irrits: that's one, the other
is the Web toolbar. Both waste screen real-estate and won't go away

I use the following macro:

Sub ToggleToolbars()
If CommandBars("Web").Enabled = True Or _
CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = True Then
CommandBars("Web").Enabled = False
CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = False
Else
CommandBars("Web").Enabled = True
CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = True
CommandBars("Web").Visible = True
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = True
End If
End Sub

If either useless toolbar is enabled, it disables both. If both of them are
disabled, the macro will enable both and reveal both.

Note: The "Enabled" method is a "cure-all", if it is false, the toolbar
CANNOT be revealed except by running the macro. So you will never see the
Reviewing toolbar or the Web toolbar again -- unless you ask for them.

If the bars are not visible the first time you run the macro, it will appear
to do nothing. But you will note that the toolbars have been removed from
the View>Toolbars list. Run it again, and they will be back in the list and
appear on your screen.

Hope this helps
