Hello Arnie,
Thanks for giving your version details.
If you have Adobe Acrobat (Distiller? Reader? -- I have both in the Standard
version, and I know Adobe have changed their terminology, so I¹m not sure
which piece(s) of software this applies to), it will gratuitously create a
PDFMaker file in one of your Microsoft folders (drat ‹ should have noted the
folder; could you do a ³Find² in the Finder and let me know for future
queries on the newsgroup?). In turn, PDFMaker.dot will cause a 2-button
PDF-making toolbar to appear whenever you open Word.
If you want to keep this plug-in, I suppose you would agree to the change.
What it¹s doing, goodness only knows.
If you don¹t want to use PDFMaker (I prefer using Distiller, so I don¹t),
do a ³Find² as above and trash PDFMaker.dot.
If you want to stop the toolbars from being installed in future, you¹ll need
to download the updater for version 6.0.1 of Acrobat Standard from Adobe (if
you don¹t have this version, I¹m out of my depth.
After installing the updater, when you open Acrobat you will be told there
is a discrepancy and asked whether you want it repaired. Click ³Don¹t ask me
again² and ³No² to the repair question; then Distiller will open, but the
toolbars will stop appearing in Word.

newsgroup for several days after the first response comes in. Sometimes it
takes a few responses before the best or complete solution is proposed;
sometimes you'll be asked for further information so that a better answer
