The following macro will replace the Outline View internal call and switch
off the toolbar when Outline view is selected.

Sub ViewOutlineMaster()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdMasterView
CommandBars("Outlining").Visible = False
End Sub

How do I force the outline toolbar NOT to show up when I am in
Outline view in MS Word 2003? When I go to View/toolbars and uncheck
it, it always comes back on when I am working on items in the Outline
view. I cannot get rid of it....

I need to get rid of it because it conflicts with the Endnote toolbar
I also use in this Outline view. (And only in Outline view is there a
conflict.) When both toolbars are there they make the Outline View
screen jump and flicker. thank.s
