 None of the conventional methods of managing toolbars in MS Word (and other MS 
Products) seems to work in eradicating the unwanted Contribute (and to some 
degree, Acrobat) toolbars:
      /view/toolbars/ - deselect contribute toolbar
      /tools/customise - deselect contribute toolbar
      /tools/customise - drag contribute tools from contribute toolbar until 
empty
 All the above appear to work, yet the original Contribute toolbar is present 
again (taking up precious space and throwing toolbars in disarray) the next 
time Word (Excel, Outlook, etc) is loaded.

 When dragging contribute tools from contribute toolbar there is a confirmation 
screen regarding changes to ContributeWordUITemplate.dot - yet i can't find 
this template to remove or edit it.

 Furthermore, what options do i have to remove the Contribute and Acrobat menus 
from the main menu bar in Word?

 Any application that overrides standard procedures to prevent itself from 
being removed is a Trojan Horse as far as I am concerned.  This practice is 
worse than arrogance, it is malicious.

 Has anyone managed to eradicate these?
