Toolbars wont go away

[Superbaker]

In Word 2000, I keep turning off certain toolbars but when Word opens back up, they come back. Is there a way to save the settings of the toolbars so they will be the same when Word opens back up?

Only thing I can think of is you may be set up to use a start up template or workgroup. NORMAL.dot is usually used but if you are using start up DOTs you will not affect the normal dot, both will be used when opening the docs. Look under TOOLS, OPTIONS, FILE LOCATIONS, check to start up location and workgroup templates location, then go look at this directory using windows explorer.
Switches may also be in place. SEE HELP INFO below.
ttemplatename
Start Word with a new document based on a template other than the Normal template.
Example: /tMyfax.dot
/a
Start Word and prevent add-ins and global templates (including the Normal template) from being loaded automatically. The /a switch also locks the setting files.
/laddinpath
Start Word and then load a specific Word add-in. Example:/lSales.dll
/m
Start Word without running any AutoExec macros.
/mmacroname
Start Word and then run a specific macro. The /m switch also prevents Word from running any AutoExec macros. Example:/mSalelead
/n
Start a new instance of Word with no document open. Documents opened in each instance of Word will not appear as choices in the Window menu of other instances.
/w
Start a new instance of Word with a blank document. Documents opened in each instance of Word will not appear as choices in the Window menu of the other instances.
