About a month ago, I opened one of my own Word docs, and
for some reason the Reviewing Toolbar was active. I've
never used it before, so I turned it off, thinking it was
a fluke. The next document I opened up at a later date
then also opened up with the reviewing toolbar active.
Now, no matter what I do, I cannot get this toolbar to
NOT come up when I start Word. Turning off the toolbar
and making sure the settings are to be saved to
Normal.dot does not work. Renaming Normal.dot does allow
me to open blank documents without this toolbar coming
up, but as soon as I open an existing document, the
toolbar pops up again, even on new, blank documents. It's
like a virus, infecting every document I open.

This behaviour can easily be controlled with a couple of auto macros in
normal.dot The extra line in the second macro adds the document and path to
the title bar.

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

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
End Sub

I'm experiencing the same thing too, but with Word _and_
Excel.

Will the macros also work in Excel?

Thanks,
Mike

I am no expert in Excel, but I believe the following should work

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