Reviewing Toolbar - how to stop it from displaying
I have Excel 2003 and I'm noticing that the Reviewing toolbar pops up every
time I open a workbook that I didn't create. Does anyone know how to turn this feature off. If and when I want it, I'll turn the reviewing toolbar on. I don't like it automatically poping up because it eats up some of my screen real estate. Thanks. |

A recent posting from Jim Rech addresses this. Jim post.................. If the workbook is sent as an attachment to Outlook then File, Properties are automatically added which will make the Reviewing toolbar appear when the workbook is opened in Excel. I don't know of a way to stop this. However, once you open the workbook in Excel you can remove these properties and save the workbook. After that it will no longer cause the reviewing toolbar to appear. Here's an old message on that: -------------- The Reviewing toolbar in Excel pops up whenever you open a workbook that has been emailed from within Excel "for review". There may be other ways to make this happen too. If you do a File, Properties you'll see the custom file properties that have been added that triggers this. You can kill the added file properties manually or run the below macro to do it. This macro is in my Personal and attached to a toolbar button because I feel the same way as you about this toolbar. -- Jim Rech Excel MVP Sub KillReviewingCustProps() Dim x As DocumentProperties Dim Counter As Integer Set x = ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties For Counter = x.Count To 1 Step -1 If Left(x.Item(Counter).Name, 1) = "_" Then _ x.Item(Counter).Delete Next CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False End Sub End Jim post.......................
