Excel Reviewing Toolbar pops up automatically

[as47]

I often have to access spreadsheets that I do not author. Those spreadsheets induce Excel to add toolbars to the ones I already have open.

This is a big annoyance and a waste of my desktop real estate. I am constantly turning them off manually. Mostly this happens with the Reviewing Toolbar, but it has happened with others too.

Is there a way to have Excel not turn them on or to atleast ask me first so I can click NO?

See if the following will help...

Thanks. For whatever reason I couldn't get on the website originally. However, I finally got it and will try it out!

Thanks!
