Re: Clearing Web Toolbar History

Hello Phil,

One way is to get rid of the web toolbar altogether. :-)

Here's an excerpt from some notes on the way I use Word for the Mac, titled
"Bend Word to Your Will", which are available as a free download from the
Word MVPs' website (http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html):

WEB TOOLBAR, TO STOP IT APPEARING WHEN CLICKING ON TOC OR OTHER HYPERLINKS

If you have long documents in which you click on the page number in the
Table of Contents to get to a topic, the Web toolbar appears. Usually you
don't want it to appear.

To get rid of the web toolbar, you have to install a macro, and you'll
probably put it in the Normal template. Here are the details:

For instructions on installing macros generally, go to:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/CreateAMacro.htm

[If you are using Safari, you will have to click on the circular arrow
("reload the current page") button a couple of times.]

The article is about Word on the Windows platform, but Word on the Mac works
much the same (use the Option key where the notes refer to the Alt key).

Copy this into the new macro window when you get that far:

Sub ToggleWeb()
With CommandBars("Web")
.Enabled = Not .Enabled
End with
End Sub

The macro "toggles" the toolbar, i.e. it turns the toolbar on the first time
it runs and turns it off next time. Once you have installed the macro,
choose Tools menu => Macro => Macros => scroll to "ToggleWeb" and click
"Run". Repeat if the toolbar does not disappear. Word will remember the
setting and you will not see the toolbar again while this Normal template
continues in use.
