unwanted floating toolbars always show when doc opens
Despite manually closing floating toolbars using the close box and then
saving the doc, the floating toolbars keep showing up whenever this particular document is re-opened. How do I stop the toolbars showing when doc is opened (Word 2003) |

Merely opening the document and closing the toolbars may not be seen as a
change to save. Add a character to the text space and delete it. Check that there's an entry in the undo list, then save. If that doesn't fix it, what are the toolbars? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Bandicoot wrote: Despite manually closing floating toolbars using the close box and then saving the doc, the floating toolbars keep showing up whenever this particular document is re-opened.

That didn't fix the problem. The two toolbars are "Control toolbox" and a
toolbar with only a single button on it (exit design mode). "Graham Mayor" wrote: Merely opening the document and closing the toolbars may not be seen as a change to save.

You need to exit design mode, then Spacebar, Backspace, Save, and close.

That specific pair of toolbars always appears under the following
circumstances: - the document contains either an object inserted from the Control Toolbox or a macro and - the macro security level is set to High (or it's set to Medium and you click the Disable button in the macro warning dialog). If you don't have any controls in the document, and you don't know or don't care what macros are in it, you can "clean" the document by saving it as Rich Text Format (change the "Save as type" box in the File Save As dialog), closing and reopening the RTF file, and saving it again as a Word (.doc) file. If it has macros and you need them, then the macros should be moved to the template on which the document is based. Then you'll need to do the RTF cleaning routine on the document (even if you remove all macros from the document, Word doesn't "forget" they were there). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Bandicoot wrote: That didn't fix the problem.

Thanks. Changing the macro security level to medium (and then enabling macros
on opening) has stopped these two toolbars mysteriously appearing each time the doc was opened. I don't use (any more) macros in this doc, so will try cleaning it up via the rtf procedure as well. thanks.
