I have and use the Avery Wizard. However, when I open Excel, Word, or
Outlook it automatically appears in the toolbar section. I have deleted it
over and over, but when I reopen any of the above, it's still there.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of it permanently in the toolbars???

Thanks, but I use the program a lot.

The associated add-in probably rebuilds the toolbar whenever Excel starts.
If you don't use the add-in frequently, you may consider uninstalling it
until later. Go to Tools menu > Add-Ins, find it in the list, and uncheck
the box in front of it. To reinstall the add-in, return to the add-ins
dialog and check the box.

Hi Bvealey,

I've never used Avery Wizard, so I really can't say if there is a way to
disable it from that program. You didn't say what version of Excel you were
using. Let's suppose 2003. One quick way to get it off the toolbar if it's
a button, not its own bar, is to hold down the Alt key and drag the button of
the toolbar. This will not be permanent.

If it's an Add-in you might choose the command Tools, Add-Ins and uncheck
the box beside the Avery Wizard. If this works it may be permanent.
 
Thanks, but it does not show up in the add-ins.

Do you know the name of the file?

Close excel and search for that filename using windows explorer.

I'm betting that it's in one of your XLStart folders. And excel will open that
workbook each time it excel opens.

If you find it in one of your XLStart folders, move it to a different location.
 
Hi,

If you use it a lot, why are you trying to remove it? You can always
right-click any toolbar and uncheck the Avery Wizard on the pop-down list.
 
I have the same issue.

Excel 2003, Avery Wizard 3.1

The install created a new toolbar within Excel called "Avery Assistant
Toolbar" with a single button to run the Avery Wizard. I would prefer
to run via the menu Tools / Avery Wizard. The most annoying thing is
that the toolbar shows up on its own line, taking up screen real
estate.

I have tried every method I can think of to permanently remove that
toolbar (or even just have it be on the same line as another toolbar),
but it shows up on its own line every time I restart Excel.

- it's not listed under Tools / Add-Ins
- deleted the button via Alt-drag, it comes back
- Tools / Customize / Toolbars / uncheck the box, it comes back
- Tools / Customize / Toolbars / delete the toolbar, it comes back
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART is empty
- C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel
\XLSTART is empty
- renamed C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft
\Excel\Excel11.xlb to force Excel to rebuild the default toolbars, it
comes back

I was able to remove the toolbar by renaming C:\Program Files\Avery
Wizard 3.1\AveryOAd.dll to .old, but that removed the Tools / Avery
Wizard menu item as well.

There's got to be a way to extract this toolbar from Excel, while
maintaining the ability to run the wizard, I can't believe Avery is
smarter than Micro$oft.

Had the same problem, but fixed it by deleting a registry entry... get
into regedit and find this key:
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
\

You'll see an entry for Avery there. Delete the whole Avery sub key,
and it's gone from Outlook, but program is still install.

Hope that helps

To remove the Avery Wizard shortcuts that are placed on the Microsoft Outlook, Excel & Word toolbars - Go To Control Panel scroll down to Avery Toolbar & select Remove. The Avery Wizard will remain as a stand alone program.

I thought I would add a quick post to help anyone with Office 2007 having this issue. I followed the above post to guide me to the initial location inthe registry then followed the below keys and renamed the last folder which took the toolbars out of Word and Outlook, but I can still access it from Windows.
Hkey_Local_Machine
-Software
-Microsoft
-Office
-Outlook
-Addins
-Averyaddin.connect(Here I renamed it Averyaddin.connectold)

It worked fine and still allows me to use Avery manually if I want.

What does the Outlook key have to do with Excel COMAddins?

Are you saying this can't be handled via the COMAddins Manager dialog
so that it doesn't get auto-loaded at startup?

Go to add/remove programs. Highlight Avery Wizard and use 'change' option. Program will reinstall and give the option to uncheck the wizard from Office applications. The toolbar will be gone but the wizard is still available.

How does a user start the wizard, then, in their Office app? If they
uninstall it via the COMAddins manager then they can still access it
when needed. (Note that in pre-2007 versions you have to add the
COMAddins menuitem to the Tools menu via the Customize option)
