Toolbars spontaneously appearing

Hi all,

I'm using MS Office 2003 on an XP OS. Whenever I start Word by double clicking the shortcut to a document that I have previously
saved to the HDD, I find that two unwanted toolbars appear in the middle of the open window. Toolbars that I have never used.
Nothing I do seems to stop them from appearing each and every time I open this document. What's up with that? Hope someone can
give me some good advice that will eliminate them permanently.

All assistance is greatly appreciated,

Cheers
Buck

Which toolbars? My guess is the Control Toolbox and the associated Design
Mode toolbar? See

Hi Graham, thanks for your help.

I tried to run the Macro that you specify on the website, but I get this error message:

Run-time error '6068':

Programmatic assess to Visual Basic Project is not trusted.

Then when I click Debug it shows the following:

Sub MFC_sort()
'
' MFC_sort Macro
' Macro recorded 12/31/2009 by Mike the Kiwi
'
Sub CloseDesignWindows()
Dim K As Long
With ActiveDocument.VBProject <<== WITH THIS LINE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW
For K = 1 To .VBComponents.Count
With .VBComponents(K)
If .HasOpenDesigner Then .DesignerWindow.Close
End With
Next
End With
End Sub
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 1/3/2010 by Mike the Kiwi
'
End Sub

I posted a tad hastily. You have also enclosed a macro within a macro.
Change what you posted, to what is on the web site i.e.

Sub CloseDesignWindows()
Dim K As Long
With ActiveDocument.VBProject

For K = 1 To .VBComponents.Count
With .VBComponents(K)
If .HasOpenDesigner Then .DesignerWindow.Close
End With
Next
End With
End Sub

Your computer calendar seems to be up the creek so that you are posting a
day in advance - even NZ hasn't started 4 January at this time.
