#View toolbar in word code

The script we showed you actually opens up Word, hides the toolbar, and then leaves Word open. Therefore your best bet is just to open Word and take a look at the toolbar names. Unfortunately, though, the CommandBars collection also includes menus, shortcut menus, and submenus, and there doesnвЂ™t appear to be a way to programmatically separate toolbars from these other items. CouldnвЂ™t we just enumerate all the items in the CommandBars collection to retrieve a list of toolbar names? Yes, we could. The names shown in the menu are the same names you use in your scripts. No doubt one question that immediately pops into mind is this: how did we know this particular toolbar has the name Formatting? Well, if you click the View menu in Word and then click Toolbars youвЂ™ll see a list of the toolbars available.

If we wanted to show the toolbar all weвЂ™d have to do is set the Visible property to True. To hide the toolbar we simply set the toolbarвЂ™s Visible property to False.

We then use this line of code to create an object reference to the Formatting toolbar, which is part of the Word CommandBars collection: Set objTool = objWord.CommandBars(вЂњFormattingвЂќ)

We begin by creating an instance of the Word.Application object and then setting the Visible property to True (just so we can see whatвЂ™s going on). Set objTool = objWord.CommandBars(вЂњFormattingвЂќ)ДЄs you can see, itвЂ™s a simple task вЂ“ hide a toolbar вЂ“ and an equally simple script. You want a script that can hide a specific toolbar in Microsoft Word, right? Well, how about this simple little script, which hides the Formatting toolbar: Set objWord = CreateObject(вЂњWord.ApplicationвЂќ)
