Word Problem - Question - Help

L

ltd

I am noticing a problem now and then with documents created by someone else
in Word. These come up with the CONTROL TOOLBOX open as a floating toolbox
with this document. I can remove it from the VIEW, TOOLBOXES area, and
when I have it like I want it to be WITHOUT THIS EXTRA TOOLBOX, I then Save
the file. However, when I reopen in, no matter what I do, this CONTROL
TOOLBOX is back again. I want to get rid of it permanently. I suspect it
has something to do with Macros or Active X controls, but I can't find a
resource or instructions anywhere on how to deal with this and permanently
eliminate this toolbox. In one file, I saved everthing to a simple text
file, then rebuilt it from scratch to get rid of it, but that seems like a
huge undertaking when there probably is some reliable and simple way to
handle it. I am very computer literate, but this one has me stumped. Any
help would be most sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance for your kind
and prompt attention.
