When opening some documents (not all) the reviewing
toolbar appears even though I have it switched off (as a
default in the normal.dot). How can I stop the reviewing
toolbar from appearing at all - unless I manually go and
select it to view it?
Many thanks

Paste the code below into a Word VBA module. It will
prevent the reviewing toolbar from coming up whenever you
launch Word. The one disadvantage to using this macro is
that you can never access the reviewing toolbar. FYI, I
have been using the macro for a month or so and have not
missed having the reviewing toolbar once yet.

Also as a sidenote, I believe Microsoft has disabled the
reviewing toolbar coming up in future versions of Office.

Public Sub AutoExec()
With CommandBars("Reviewing")
.Enabled = False
.Visible = False
End With
End Sub

go into start/run, type regedit, goto
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Word\Data ,and delete
the "toolbar" key. (i don't know what version you have, 10.0 is for XP,
9.0 is for 2000, and if you have 97 i suggest not removing this
registry key), you can always export the data reg folder, so you have a
backup, but really shouldn't have to since word will recreate the
registry key next time you open.

I'm not sure what you have in mind but recreating the Toolbars value
will only remove custom toolbar protection, reset the position of
toolbars to their defaults, and turn off all toolbars except for the
Standard and Formatting toolbars.

Granted the Reviewing toolbar would be turned off once the key was
rebuilt but it would be *far* easier to right-click toolbar and turn
off the Reviewing toolbar. Not to mention it would turn itself right
back on once a document containing AdHocReview properties is opened
which is the underlying cause of this issue.

What you suggest involves exiting Word, finding the key in the
Registry, deleting it, and restarting Word.

FWIW removal of the Data key or Toolbars value for 97 is identical to
removing it for Office 2000 - 2003. The key is rebuilt with the
defaults.
