Word2003 - Amazing, self-replicating, empty toolbar "Most Recently Used"
I happened upon a thread from this spring which described a phenomenon
that I'm also experiencing. Ingredients a Office Standard 2003 (Word) Adobe Acrobat Standard 7.0.8 Microsoft Office Creative Commons Add-in Microsoft Office International Character toolbar add-in (removed) Microsoft Office SMS add-in (removed) As the previous OP has described, each time Word is run, a new empty toolbar called "Most recently Used" is created. (You can see them via right-clicking any toolbar, or running Tools - Customize - Toolbars tab.) I've had up to 12 of the buggers. Deleting them works, but then they start appearing again after Word is stopped and started. As per MVP suggestions in the previous thread... I've tried changing the LoadBehavior value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\ Addins\PDFMaker.OfficeAddin to 0, and to 8, no joy. I've deleted the toolbars, and forced a SAVE ALL with the Normal.DOT template open, confirmed that the template was written to, no joy. Frankly, this is a stumper. I resist the impulse to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Acrobat as the Adobe License Manager utility ("new for 2006, ever more paranoid DRM for apps!") has been reported as buggy for some. Any further suggestions from MVPs are welcome. |

Word2003 - Amazing, self-replicating, empty toolbar "Most Recently Used"
I'd forgotten to mention I found something installed (maybe I'd
installed it, maybe I didn't, my upgrade from Office 2000 to 2003 was pretty cavalier) called "Microsoft Office something something Interop something." No idea what that was, so I blitzed it. BEFORE this testing. Aaaanyway, I set LoadBehavior = 0 to all three add-ins found in the Registry: BtOfficeAddin.BtOfficeIntegration.1 CreativeCommonsAdin.Connect PDFMaker.OfficeAddin then started word a few times. First time took a while. Reset the PDFMaker to 3, and loaded files in Word a few times. The "most recently used" toolbars didn't return. Re-enabled the rest, and the toolbars haven't returned. Yet. He said, knocking on wood. This post is probably more appropriate to the .general newsgroup, but as I mentioned, a previous thread was in here, so.... |
