Word remembering toolbars

Thread rating:  |
powermacj7@officeformac.com - 30 Jan 2008 01:25 GMT Word does not remember toolbars. For example, I like to have the reviewing toolbar while using Word. When I quit the program, and start it up again, the Reviewing toolbar is gone, and I have to reselect it to appear.
Is this a known issue? Curt Laird - 30 Jan 2008 02:20 GMT Hi powermacj7, This behavior actually tied to the document and the way it behaves currently is intentional. If you are reviewing a document, save, close, and reopen it, the Reviewing toolbar will appear. The standpoint is that the reviewing toolbar is only needed when you are reviewing the doc. For some a bug, for others a feature. ;-)
Thanks,
Curt

In other words, the reviewing toolbar will appear only if you edit a document that has Changes or Comments saved in it :-)
And yeah, it's a feature to save screen space.
Cheers

little_creature - 30 Jan 2008 16:11 GMT Hi John, yeah, it pops up automatically if the document has track changes inside, but I understood that the original person wanted to turn it on permanently which can achived as described above.
Not my day today...

Good to see you :-)
In Office 2008, there's a change: the Reviewing and Web toolbars go away when they are not needed.
You can't keep the Reviewing toolbar visible in a document that has no reviewing mark-up in it. It will re-hide each time you close the document.
Cheers

Thank You for the response. I was thinking around that. little_creature - 30 Jan 2008 10:54 GMT Actually I do not agree... If I swich it on it's on. What version of office are you reffering to?
I'm still with Office 2004 and it will be a long time till 2008 will reach my IT department :), it seems me that your setting is not stored into normal template for some reason. Either you do not give the Word opportunity to think you made any change to the normal template or it's corrupted
You can try following: 1. Open new blank word document 2. Switch on your review tollbar 3 type some letter in that document and delete it 4. close word, if you are prompted to save normal template say YES
If this doesn't solve your problem your normal template is likely to be corupted, post back with more info about your Office and system

turn on the item you want.
then go anywhere in your document and type a space, then remove that space. Word will detect the typing and assume a change save the document the quit word. It should ask do you want to save changes to normal. Choose yes. Next time you open a document this item should show up.
