From: Mike '/m' 


Another recent new "feature" in MS Word is the Review toolbar
that Won't Go Away and Stay Away.  In MS Word '97, I turned it off once,
and it never came back on for the years that I use MS Word '97.  Nowadays,
with MS Word it seems all I do it turn off that blasted toolbar to reclaim
my screen real estate.

And Microsoft calls me a dinosaur....
