Nor do most people I think!, That ,and the accursed smart tags are the
annoying things about the later versions of XL.
As far as I'm aware the only way to permanently stop it is using code in a
Worksheet _Open or Activate event.
Obviously adding VBA code to each and every workbook is even more of a pain
in the bum than closing the toolbar each time.
I look forward to any solution that anyone may have!

Everytime I open any Excel sheet in 2003, the "reviewing toolbar" keeps
showing up [what a pain] - I turn it off - and oops it's there again next
time.

Is there an option for controlling this? Any way to turn off in the
registry?

I just don't want the barthere....

Thx.
