XP Office: How to stop the reviewing toolbar appearing

[Sarjwl]

I would like to "turn off" the reviewing toolbar so that it does not
automatically appear.

 

[Bob I]

It only appears if you open documents that have it turned on. To prevent
it from popping up, Dock it in the toolbar and ignore it.

Here's a little more information on the issue Steve has described on
the Reviewing toolbar:

"Review Toolbar Annoyance"

Note turning off the option will help out those you email - but it
won't prevent the toolbar from surfacing on your computer. The article
contains a macro you can use to workaround this issue. Also, if you
only want to turn off the Reviewing toolbar on document you open and
not disable it completely (IOW, turn it on when *you* want it on) then
use this macro instead:
Sub AutoOpen()
With CommandBars("Reviewing")
.Visible = False
End With
End SubPlease post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests
for assistance by email can not be acknowledged.
