The Reviewing Toolbar (the one activated/deactivated by
selecting: View / Toolbars / Reviewing) started showing
up all the time when I open WORD, after turning this
toolbar on, ONE TIME, just to see what it was. Now I
have it appearing every time (or every few times) I
startup WORD! and it's wasting valuable screen space (I'm
on a Notebook!)

I constantly deactivate it by going to: View / Toolbars /
Reviewing and that works for one session, then the next
time I start up word it may or may not appear then, but
will within a few times of starting up WORD. I have
looked all over the various Options menu and can find
nothing to deactivate the functionality. (I don't need
it at all right now).

If anyone can tell me how to deactivate this, so that it
never appears again, I WOULD BE GRATEFUL.

Then that brings up the question; what if I want to
someday use this functionality? How do I keep it from
appearing UNLESS I activate it by going to: View /
Toolbars / Reviewing? (I.e. I DO NOT want it to keep
reactivating itself on a permanent basis again (as this
is obviously not easy to do).

Also, how do I delete this toolbar from Word entirely?
(or turn it off permanently in the Registry or however it
can be done the easiest).

Also, do you happen to know why the Copy/Paste
functionality does not work sometimes in IE6, or excel or
Word intermittently?

You can force it to stay off with a couple of small macros:

Sub Autonew()
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
End Sub

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

If you already use auto... macros for other tasks, add the operative line to
the existing macros.

I believe Graham supplied the macro you need to use. For more
information on why it appears take a look at this article:
