Re: Hiding Toolbar Options

Yes, full menus are displayed, and the toolbars are displayed in their
entirety. However, there are arrows on the far right that, when clicked,
show the "Add or Remove Buttons" option. We have 3-4 small customized
toolbars on each line of four lines of toolbars (since they each contain
related customized macros), the repeated arrows not only take up a lot of
unnecessary space, they create clutter. Besides, our users do not need the
option to add/remove the buttons. [Even if they did, they could accomplish
the same thing via the Tools/Customize menu.] Is there no way to disable this
function????? [These particular arrows were not visible on earlier editions
of Office; as far as I know, they didn't start appearing until XP.]

Thanks!

I'm a little confused. I find that if full menus are displayed (Tools -
Customize - Options - Always show full menus), then then chevrons display
only if the window is too narrow to display the whole toolbar. Hence, for me
they're always invisible. The small downward pointing arrows cannot be
suppressed.

Help! I need to be able to "hide" (suppress) the chevrons/arrows at the
end
of each and every toolbar in Office XP -- particularly in Word 2003. The
entire toolbar is visible, so hiding the arrows wouldn't affect being able
to
use any of the icons, but Word insists on adding the arrows, with the
drop-down option being just "Add or Remove Buttons". We use numerous
customized toolbars, with lots of customized tools, so these repeated
arrows
produce a lot of unnecessary clutter -- and take up space that could be
better used by our tools. How can I suppress the arrows????? Thank you!
