Be Gone Mini Toolbar! "Daddy" <daddy[ at ]invalid.invalid> 11/10/2008 6:52:03 AM In Word 2007, is the 'mini toolbar' that little toolbar that appears above the context menu when right clicking on selected text? If so, I can't seem to get rid of it. In Word Options I removed the check mark from 'Show Mini Toolbar on selection'...but that little toolbar still shows up! How do I get rid of it? Thanks for your help. Daddy

If you are on a network, the default settings of the Word Options dialog box could be restored on each login. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Daddy" <daddy[ at ]invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:u3FnGDwQJHA.1448[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Be Gone Mini Toolbar! "Bob Buckland ?:-\)" <75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com> 11/10/2008 10:50:03 AM Hi Daddy, The Office Button=>Word Options=>Popular setting for 'Show mini toolbar on selection' is for enabling/disabling the minibar 'fade in' appearance when mousing over selected text. The setting does not remove it from the 'right click' context menu. There may be a way to affect that Office-common portion of Word's context/shortcut menu content progamatically, but I don't recall that it's been covered (yet) in articles such as http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Customize_Word2007_SC_Menu_Programatically.htm ================= <<"Daddy" <daddy[ at ]invalid.invalid> wrote in message news:u3FnGDwQJHA.1448[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

Re: Be Gone Mini Toolbar! "Daddy" <daddy[ at ]invalid.invalid> 11/10/2008 3:00:41 PM Okay, I understand now what the setting in Word Options means, although it seems a little sneaky to me that the caption would read /Show/ Mini Toolbar... vs. /Fade/ Mini Toolbar... Thanks for the link - I wouldn't trust myself to incorporate VBA code but perhaps I'll be able to find a (trustworthy) third-party add-on to do the work of removing this admittedly minor annoyance. Thanks to you both. Daddy "Bob Buckland ?:-)" <75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com> wrote in message news:OrTEOHyQJHA.1396[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
