How do I get rid of the Reviewing Toolbar?
I use Word XP and simply hate the reviewing toolbar - particularly the
uninvited way it pops up when opening certain documents (especially email attachments). To try and overcome this, I have the following in my AutoExec macro: With CommandBars("Reviewing") .Enabled = False .Visible = False However, although this works to start with, the toolbar keeps on popping up from time to time. Can anyone suggest a better way to bring it under control please...? Thanks V |

How do I get rid of the Reviewing Toolbar?
Add the line
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False to an autonew macro also http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm If you open e-mail attachments directly from e-mails (which is bad practice and should be avoided) then the autoexec macro does not run. Save attachments and open them from Word. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Victor Delta wrote: I use Word XP and simply hate the reviewing toolbar - particularly the uninvited way it pops up when opening certain documents (especially email attachments).

Graham Thanks for that, although I should perhaps have mentioned that I always have Word open on my PC (it loads on booting) - so will your autonew macro actually make any difference? I guess you mean that attachments should first be saved to disk before opening. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to change this habit as life is too short when there is a quick way that works! V |

How do I get rid of the Reviewing Toolbar?
If you want to know why this occurs take a look at this article:
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/p...cle.asp?ID=107 Note that you may not be encountering the symptoms, since more than likely the documents that exhibit the behavior aren't yours, but the cause is the same and the only way to truly "cure" the document is to delete the Review properties described in the article from the File Properties. Also, since you are using Office XP you may want to check your Outlook Preferences described in the article to make sure you're not sending similar documents to others. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Victor Delta" wrote in message ...

How do I get rid of the Reviewing Toolbar?
The suggested code turns off the bar for every new document, If you want to
turn it off for every existing document then add the line to an autoopen macro. You will stop opening documents directly the first time you lose hours of work by doing so. Word 2007 has improved the way attached documents are handled. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Victor Delta wrote: "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Actually Graham, on second thoughts, I'm slightly confused now. My existing macro is named autoexec and, as I understand it, runs when Word first opens (and, as my original message indicated, the reviewing toolbar still appears when some attachments are opened). Is an autoopen macro different from an autoexec one? Sorry if I am being dim? V |

Yes I was aware of this and changed my Outlook Preferences some time ago. Shame MS never issued an update which changed the default setting. Still, hopefully Graham's suggestion will enable me to prevent the reviewing toolbar popping up in future. Regards, V |

How do I get rid of the Reviewing Toolbar?
AutoExec runs when you start Word, AutoNew when you create a document,
AutoOpen when you open a document. But wrt the Reviewing toolbar when opening attachments, see "Review Toolbar Annoyance" at http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=221 -- Suzanne S.

I think this was the article that initially inspired me to create the autoexec macro a year or so ago. However, as you will see, the reviewing toolbar still appears on occasions. Graham advised creating an autonew macro to overcome this, but your post suggests it should be an autoopen macro? Will the latter even run when one double clicks an attachment i.e. does not use the open file dialogue box in Word? TIA V |

Yes, the AutoOpen macro runs when Word opens a document, regardless of how
you do it. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Victor Delta" wrote in message ... "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

How do I get rid of the Reviewing Toolbar?
The issue concerns what is triggering the reviewing toolbar to pop up when
unwanted. AutoExec will ensure that it is turned off when you start Word, but if it comes back when you create a new document, you need an autonew macro. If it returns when opening other people's documents you need an autoopen macro. If the return is random, you need a belt and braces approach and all three macros. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Victor Delta wrote: "Suzanne S.

Suzanne/Graham Many thanks to you both for your help (Graham - sorry if I did not make it totally clear in my original post that the problem is with opening documents - mostly email attachments).
