======================================
From: "Gary Britt" <email@from_Gary_Britt.org>

I stopped upgrading after getting to Office 2K.  I am assuming this
*feature* is in Office 2003 or Office XP.  I hated the Office Clipboard
toolbar appearing all the time, even though I never wanted it on (I use
clipcache plus a far superior solution and one that works all the time with all
programs not just Office programs).  There is a registry entry that needs to be
set to keep the damn thing off.

The office 2000 and office 2003 resource kit tools are a free download from MS.
 The Office 2000 resource kit includes a system policy editor that lets you
select the registry entries needed to always enforce certain behaviors. It can
be used to make sure the office assistant and office clipboard don't ever pop
up.  It might have a setting for turning off your review toolbar, but maybe
not.  Might be worth a look.
