OK, that's a solution to getting rid of them. However, can you then build a *user defined* toolbar(s) that contains the icons for the tools, they just get grayed out when the context does not apply? <rant> My problem is *not* that the toolbar is there. My problem is that it does not *stay* there. In other words, I want a static layout. I have documents that are full of tables. I move in and out of tables all the time. The table toolbar is very handy when I'm in a table. So I want it to be there. If I move out of the table, I still want it to be there, but grayed out indicating that it is currently inactive. I don't want NetNanny or rather ToolbarNanny to decide if I can see a button or not. If I don't want to see it, I'll hide it. If I want to see it, let me see it; if clicking on it would have no effect, indicate it to me but leave the widget there. At least, give me the option to waste my screen real-estate with unusable toolbars. </rant> If I can get rid of the OOo built-in toolbars and can instead build effectively the same tollbar as a custom one, and assuming that I can control the custom toolbar's existence, then it's all wonderful. Thus, my question changes: can I build custom toolbars? Do they stay where I put them?
