Running MSWord 2002. The toolbars don't remain stable, I select and adjust
them how I want them to appear, and new toolbars are added (like the
reviewing toolbar, or the pdf bar) everytime I open another document. It's
very annoying.

First, turn off adaptive menus if you haven't already.

Then open a document. If the pesky toolbars show up, first close all other
documents you have open (including the blank one). Then close the toolbars.
Then type a single letter and backspace to delete it and save your "changed"
document. Close and reopen Word. If that doesn't work....

From the FAQ:

11. How can I get rid of that ^$#*@& web toolbar?

(Works for reviewing and other toolbars, too!)

as if we all were born knowing how to do this. I've looked all through
Options & Customize toolbars & I haven't been able to find out how to do it.
Would you mind enlightening me?

On the Options tab of Tools | Customize, check the box for "Always show full
menus" and "Show Standard and Formatting toolbars on two rows."
