Word remembering toolbars

[powermacj7]

Word does not remember toolbars. For example, I like to have the reviewing toolbar while using Word. When I quit the program, and start it up again, the Reviewing toolbar is gone, and I have to reselect it to appear.

Is this a known issue?

Hi powermacj7,
This behavior actually tied to the document and the way it behaves currently
is intentional. If you are reviewing a document, save, close, and reopen it,
the Reviewing toolbar will appear. The standpoint is that the reviewing
toolbar is only needed when you are reviewing the doc. For some a bug, for
others a feature. ;-)

Thanks,


Curt

Actually I do not agree... If I swich it on it's on. What version of office
are you reffering to?

I'm still with Office 2004 and it will be a long time till 2008 will reach
my IT department , it seems me that your setting is not stored into normal
template for some reason. Either you do not give the Word opportunity to
think you made any change to the normal template or it's corrupted

You can try following:
1. Open new blank word document
2. Switch on your review tollbar
3 type some letter in that document and delete it
4. close word, if you are prompted to save normal template say YES

If this doesn't solve your problem your normal template is likely to be
corupted, post back with more info about your Office and system

What he forgot to say is "If the document has tracked changes in it"

In other words, the reviewing toolbar will appear only if you edit a
document that has Changes or Comments saved in it

And yeah, it's a feature to save screen space.

Cheers

Hi John,
yeah, it pops up automatically if the document has track changes
inside, but I understood that the original person wanted to turn it on
permanently which can achived as described above.

Not my day today...

also if the Normal template is not corrupt try the following in W2004.

turn on the item you want.

then go anywhere in your document and type a space, then remove that
space. Word will detect the typing and assume a change save the document
the quit word. It should ask do you want to save changes to normal.
Choose yes. Next time you open a document this item should show up.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!

Hi LC:

Good to see you

In Office 2008, there's a change: the Reviewing and Web toolbars go away
when they are not needed.

You can't keep the Reviewing toolbar visible in a document that has no
reviewing mark-up in it. It will re-hide each time you close the document.

Cheers
