I loaded the American Heritage® Dictionary, 4th Ed. with thesaurus on

to my hard drive.  Great dictionary but the program has one little

persistent problem.  Automatically it loads a toolbar (Houghton

Mifflin Company) with an icon into Word 2003.  The icon is useful but

the toolbar forms a third line, underneath Standard and Formatting,

and can not be adjusted.  No matter what I do, when I close and then

restart Word the toolbar is back in the exact same spot.  Things I

have tried:



Tools/Customize/Toolbars - Only works for the particular session.

Toolbar returns after having been deleted.



Tools/Templates and Add-ins/Organizer/Toolbar - "Houghton Mifflin

Company" is not listed as a toolbar.  Toolbars I've made as a test can

be deleted.



Regedit - Doing a search in the registry for "AHD4withThesaurus" (the

directory on my hard drive where the program is stored) returned this

listing:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet

Explorer\Extensions\{CB9CDC2D-0AB4-4031-A1F7-E9B4070CE521}



Deleting it took care of the toolbar but of course caused an error,

"eReference Embedding Error."  Naturally, there is no documentation on

the net or on the Microsoft website for such an error.  Reloading the

American Heritage program gets rid of the error and, of course,

returns the toolbar.



I'd like to keep the toolbar but I want to be able to move it to a

location on the screen and have it stay there.  Three lines of

toolbars and the one line of Menu items is too much.  Anyone have any

ideas?

First, try grabbing the toolbar by the row of dots at its left end and

moving it somewhere else. You can leave it floating in an unused

corner, or dock it to any other edge of the screen.



If you want to get rid of it, look in Word's Startup folder (this is

usually C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application

Data\Microsoft\Word\Startup, but you can check it by looking in Tools

> Options > File Locations) for an add-in -- probably something like

AHD.dot -- put there by the dictionary program. If you move it to

another folder and restart Word, that will get rid of the toolbar, but

may also remove any other interconnection (shortcut keys, etc.).

If you cannot park the toolbar and have it remain where placed - you can use

the technique shown at

http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adob...at_toolbar.htm to switch it off,

whilst still having it, and the macros it calls, available when required.

Moving it by the toolbar handle only works during that particular

session.  Once the Word is closed and restarted, it is back where it

started.



The Startup folder is empty.  Hidden files and folders are set to

show, so if anything was actually in there I'd be able to see it.

ThreeLeggedDog, I suffer from exactly the problem you described, but none of the replies provided an obvious solution.  Did you ever find a solution?  Alanf

Almost certainly the toolbar is added by an add-in; see
