There are two fairly simple ways to do this.
One, rebuild your tool bars from scratch or modify your existing toolbars.
To modify the toolbars (remove the unwanted commands) you will need to enter
the customize mode. Do this by selecting View => Toolbars => Customize. A
dialog box will op-up, ignore it for now. Click on the tools menu pulldown,
than click on the item you want to remove and drag it off the toolbars until
an X appears with the mouse pointer under the shape being dragged. Let go
of the mouse button and the shape should be removed. In the dialog box,
click the Close button to end the customize mode.
To reset your toolbars, you can select View => Toolbars => Customize and
select the Toolbars tab. Then just click on the Reset button and you should
be back to new.
In some extreme cases, the toolbars may become corrupt, in this case you can
delete the entire toolbar settings by deleting the file where they are
stored. With PowerPoint closed, click on My computer => C drive =>
Documents and Settings => User Name => Application Data => Microsoft =>
PowerPoint and renaming the pcb file to something like PPT11.old. When
PowerPoint reopens, it will look for the old toolbars file, when it does not
find it, PowerPoint will re-create a new one from scratch. Please note that
the Application data folder is a system folder and your view settings may
need to be changed to allow you to see the folder and its contents. You
will need sufficient administrator privileges on the machine in order to
make this change.
Post back and let us know if you got this resolved.
