At some instances word automatically launches unwanted floating toolbars -
Reviewing toolbar, or Web toolbar etc, which I have to x-out manually. How
to prevent Word from launching these toolbars?

For the Web toolbar, use the macro shown at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BanishWebToolbar.htm.

The same technique works for the Reviewing toolbar -- just substitute
"Reviewing" for "Web" in the macro.

The macro code in the article suggested by Jay disables the toolbars (fine
for the web bar) whereas you may want merely to prevent them displaying, yet
still have them available. For that you need a slightly different line of
code in both autoopen and autonew macros
eg
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
