Toolbar question

[catland]

I like to have maximum space for writing so I have created a custom
toolbar with what I need. But Adobe Acrobat installs PDF maker, which I
would like, but it insists on having it as a second toolbar underneath
my custom toolbar, which is a waste of space and looks ugly.

Is there a way of locking it next to the custom toolbar or removing its
contents and putting them in my custom toolbar or something else?

No, I am afraid Adobe codes the position of their toolbar specifically. You
either have it, or you do not.

You can remove PDFMaker.dot from your Word/Startup folder. The toolbar will
go away when you next restart Word.

If you want it back, pop it back in the folder.

Cheers

That brilliant man John McGimpsey has a way to get rid of Adobe's cuckoo PDF
toolbar in Office, which is worth doing, because it's associated with some
problems. It's all explained at
