Deactivating add-in automatically

[Michael]

I have an additional (non-Microsoft) grammar-check
program for Word 2003 that is installed as a macro, add-
in.

The grammar check is good, but the program is a bit
wobbly and sometimes interferes with Word. I only want
to use this program occasionally but otherwise leave it
deactivated. I know that I can go to "Tools" and
then "Add-ins" and uncheck the box to deactivate it, but
I have to go in and manually deactivate it every time I
start Word.

Is there a way to KEEP this deactivated as the normal
situation, i.e. at startup? I also tried the route of a
small macro to automatically disable it, but that doesn't
seem to work.

I use VSS to keep my global templates in and only Get Latest on those
that I need, and delete the others. You can achieve the same thing
with a second directory. Make a sub-folder in your Word Startup drawer
and move templates into there that you aren't using then and there.

You can untick them in the Tools > Templates and Addins dialog but I
have found some problems with the reliablity of this method.
