Short answer: you can't.

You can inactivate a toolbar using View > Toolbars: if the toolbar has no check-mark in that menu, then it will never be displayed.

If a toolbar is active (has a check-mark in the Toolbars menu), it will either be displayed constantly, or it will appear and disappear depending on the context around the cursor. You cannot change whether or not a toolbar is context-sensitive, so there is no way to make a context-sensitive toolbar visible all the time.

There is a plan to make the context-sensitive toolbars only gray-out (become inactive) instead of disappearing: see Issue 42072

  http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=42072

No firm time frame has been set however; it couldn't happen too soon, IMO.

If you are primarily trying to avoid the changing of the document view when these toolbars pop in and out, you can simply dock them at the bottom or the right side, or dock them onto a fixed (non-context-sensitive) toolbar. If you don't have enough room, you can make a new empty toolbar and add the context-sensitive toolbar(s) to that. The context-sensitive toolbar(s) will still appear and disappear, but they won't affect the document view.
