Hello all;

Every time I open Word, I get two "floating"(?) toolbars.  One is
"Controls", the other is "Design mode".  And I can't seem to figure out how
to make them permanently disappear.  I'll open them if I need them.  But I
don't want them to pop-up each time I open a file.  I've been through the
options box, but nothing seems to ring a bell as likely candidate.

I read through this group, and applied all of the things I could find.  But
so far...nada!  I can click them closed and updated normal.dot.  But they
keep coming back!  IIRC; this started sometime around my SP2 update...but
I'm not absolutely positive about that.

I've browsed "addbalance", and downloaded and/or read the various other tips
I found here.  But most of what I find on this group is about making them or
getting them to appear (:-o)!  For me, it's the opposite.  I don't want
gratuitous tools to pop up, for any reason!  If I need something, I've been
using Word long enough to know how to find 'em.

Any ideas?
