My Word and Excel always start up with several toolbars occupying 4 lines as
a default. How do I reset the default so I will only get STANDARD and
FORMATTING toolbars?

Hi Vic,

Go to the VIEW menu in word, then choose TOOLBARS and set the ones that you
want.

Hi Vic-

You should be able to just turn off/on whatever toolbars you wish, and each
time you launch Word/Excel it should present the same ones in the same
locations as when you last Quit that program. Are you saying this is not
happening in your case?

Hi,
Every time I start Word I remove garbage toolbars, and every time they
appear again. How can I stop it? There must be a way to set a default what
toolbars I need on start-up.
Thanx

If Word is not saving your settings when you close, then you'll need to
force it with an AutoExec macro, which perhaps someone will provide for you
(I can't).

Word 2003 has something of a mind of its own when it comes to personal
settings and sometimes it is necessary to force your will upon it using auto
macros. The macros I use in my own system are as follows. If you have some
different toolbar issue, you can add the command lines to control them
using similar syntax to the marked lines. If you don't know how to use the
listings - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
.ShowFieldCodes = False
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
'********************************
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False
'*********************************
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
.ShowFieldCodes = False
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoExec()
'*********************************
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False
CommandBars("Mail Merge").Visible = False
'***********************************
End Sub
