The scroll bar problem is not related to zoom in my case. I have to go the
options and check the checkbox.
I plan to keep the Adobe PDF maker, even if it is the source of the problem.
Now that I know how to correct it, it is just a minor annoyance; and the
Adobe PDF maker creates much smaller PDF files than any PDF makers not made
by Adobe.
Thanks for your time!

First, since you are using Word 2007, does the horizontal scroll bar
reappear if you Zoom in on your document? This version will suppress the
view of the horizontal scroll bar if it's not needed. This drives me nuts
every once in awhile - especially when I work with tracked changes.
If that's not it then the likely suspect is PDFMofficeAddin.dll The Adobe
developers are notorious for adding irrelevant code and depending on the
version of the add-in you are using it's also known to discard all changes
in your Normal template when you exit Word. I haven't heard anything about
them correcting this error so it's a poorly behaved add-in to start with --
I'd disable it. You can still use the Adobe printer or the PDF Add-in
Microsoft has included for PDF creation. (If you don't know about the MS PDF
Add-in let us know and we'll help you with it.)
FName.dll is a SmartTag and it doesn't modify your settings, nor does the
Document Inspector. I'm not sure about the Goggle add-in since I don't use
it.

For me, I will be working in a Word document and just notice I have no
horizontal scroll bar. At that point I am not certain if it is related to
the document I just opened, or if it was due to a document I opened
previously.
I go to the Word Options and recheck the "Show horizontal scroll bar"
property.
That is the only setting change that I have noticed.
I currenty have 3 active Addins (PDFMofficeAddin.dll from Acrobat,
GoogleDesktopOffice.dll, and FName.dll from Microsoft). I see 5 inactive
"Smart Tag" addins and 3 inactive "Document Inspector" addins - all from
Microsoft.
I have all default security settings, except I have Vista UAC disabled.

What happens exactly? What settings are you losing?
Contrary to what others might believe, (that there are 'gremlins' in the
Registry grin), the likely culprit is macro in either an add-in or
template. (If it only happens on occasion and the same setting or
settings
are being changed then I'd say the macro is in template you are using. Do
you recall if there is a template you use on occasion that contains
macros?
Note this situation is easy to create by someone who's familiar with the
Macro Recorder but not familiar enough with VBA to modify what they
recorded
and remove unnecessary statements. For example, if someone uses the Macro
Recorder to "record" themselves modifying a setting in their Options
dialog
box the state of *every* single option is recorded as well*. So if their
macro runs on your computer you end up with their personalized
preferences
and not your own. (Unfortunately many add-in developers (even Microsoft)
make this mistake too, or they don't care enough to store your settings
prior to making their changes and returning your settings when their
macro
is finished running.)
*Thankfully in Word 2007 the Macro Recorder will no longer record every
option in the Word Options dialog box and records only those options that
were explicitly modified when using the Macro Recorder so hopefully
someday
will see less of this issue.

This happens to me once every 3 or 4 months. It is happening in Word
2007
running on Vista 32 bit (both of which I started using in January
2007).
