I have Excel 2003. I often put together reports that require cutting and pasting from one workbook to another. It seems that the default setting for Excel is to automatically open the Reviewing Toolbar when I open my reports or when I open a sub-report from which I’ll be taking data. I don’t know why, but this really annoys me that I have to close it over and over (yeah, it’s petty, but it’s the petty things at work that can drive you to drink). I’ve tried to find a way to change this default to no avail. Does anyone know how to do this?
