How do I keep this acrobat toolbar opening when I open word? I close it but it opens each time word opens.

I'm having the exact same problem with that, and it's been seriously ticking me off in a really bad way. It did that for me in Windows XP as well, stupid Adobe Acrobat crap.

What about changing the default template, does that help?

I hit reset on the toolbar menu but that didn't do anything. Is that what you mean?

Try reading this and the comments posted afterwards:

macosxhints.com - Remove Acrobat toolbar from Office v.X applications

Edit: although it is for Office v.X it still applies to later versions as well, I believe.

To save you some effort here is what you have to do which is from this thread:

macosxhints.com - Safari hijacked by Acrobat (revisited)

MS Office hijacked by Acrobat (revisited), too

Once again, this is the definitive trick to get rid of Acrobat stuff in Office: in the 'Microsoft Office'/Office/Startup folder, there are 3 folders: Excel, PowerPoint, Word. In each of them you have to create a *folder* with the name of the annoying Acrobat additions [Note, you need to delete the plug-ins first, then create the folders, and do this when the Office apps are not running]. More precisely:
- in the Excel folder, create the folder "PDFMaker.xla"
- in the PowerPoint folder, create the folder "PDFMaker.ppa"
- in the Excel folder, create the folder "PDFMaker.dot"

Hope this helps.
