Reviewing toolbar appears in middle of screen when I open PPT docs

[JBarbato]

The reviewing toolbar has begun appearing in the middle of the screen every
time I open any PPT file. The problem began after I added a few comments to
one PPT file (which I have done before with no ill effects). Now, every PPT
file I open, opens with the Reviewing toolbar smack in the center of the
screen. Seems a minor problem, but I work with PPT files all day and handle
hundreds of them - and they all open with that toolbar in the middle of the
screen now. How do I stop it from happening?

All of a sudden I'm now having the same problem. Every .ppt file I open,
whether coming from Outlook or one on my hard disk, gets this obnoxious
Reviewing Toolbar. If I close the toolbar to get it out of the way, even if
I don't change the file at all (just view it), I can't close Powerpoint
without being asked if I want to save my changes. Powerpoint seems to have
set a flag that a change has been made to the file.

I don't see any replies to JBarbato's post on how to turn off this obnoxious
automatic appearance of the Reviewing toolbar. Has anyone got an idea on how
to kill this thing?

Thanks

usually it helps to close the toolbar once - it should not reappear again.
Should not... that's what is supposed to happen. Give it a try: click on the
little x in the upper right corner of the toolbar and see if it stays away.

If I close the toolbar once and resave the file it goes away for that file
only. All other files still get the thing. I'm getting it on files that are
months old and never had this before, so some default config got flipped
inside Powerpoint but I can't find it.
