MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2008How do you remove the ODF Toolbar?
I recently downloaded and installed the Sun ODF Plug-in 1.1 for Microsoft Office from http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/index.jsp - this gives Word, Excel and PowerPoint the ability to read, edit and save to the ISO-standard Open Document Format (ODF). After installation, Word, Excel and PowerPoint all gain a new 'Sun ODF Plug-in' toolbar. However, whilst the toolbars in Word and Excel are well behaved and can be hidden (and stay hidden) by unticking the appropriate item on the View, Toolbars menu, the ODF toolbar in PowerPoint irritatingly keeps coming back every time one reopens the application. I thought I might be able to get rid of it by deselecting or removing the appropriate add-in, but it always keeps coming back to haunt me! Does anyone know how to get rid of it once and for all (whilst leaving the plug-in's functionality). I suppose an appropriate auto_open macro might do the job, but is there a simpler way? By the way, I am using PowerPoint 2002/XP. V I would suggest you ask Sun, they would know more about the add-in than anyone here.

Do you want to get rid of the addin or just the toolbar? If the latter, you could, as you've suggested, write another add-in that does nothing more than delete the Sun add-in's toolbar in its auto-open sub. That would work, so long as the Sun add-in loads only at PPT startup. ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ > Do you want to get rid of the addin or just the toolbar? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > That > would work, so long as the Sun add-in loads only at PPT startup. Steve Thanks for your helpful response. Only want to get rid of the toolbar really... Actually I've now written a basic macro that seems to work when I run it: With CommandBars("Sun ODF Plugin") .Enabled = False However, it only seems possible to save it in a particular presentation file. Is there a way to record a macro so that it runs automatically when PowerPoint is opened. There are facilities to do this in Word and Excel - so surely it's possible in PPT? TIA V > Is there a way to record a macro so that it runs automatically when > PowerPoint is opened. There are facilities to do this in Word and Excel - > so surely it's possible in PPT? Found the answer to this myself with a bit of Googling. I created the following macro: Sub Auto_Open() ' ' AutoOpen Macro ' Macro recorded 6/5/2005 by V ' With CommandBars("Sun ODF Plugin") .Enabled = True .Visible = False End With End Sub and then saved it as 'Disable ODF Toolbar.ppa' file. Then I added it to the list of add-ins. When PowerPoint opens the add-in macro runs and makes the ODF Toolbar vanish. Mission accomplished! V Nicely done. Ya beat me to it.
