Messing with Toolbar buttons in Word

Does anyone know how to change the Standard toolbar in MS word so that it doesn't have the links to the web and excel on it that I don't ever use? and how to tell MS word to always show the whole formatting toolbar, and never to take things out of the toolbar or menus because I haven't used them in a while? I'm using MS word 2000. I want to change it and have it stay that way for next time I use MS word.

I know I can look it up, just thought I'd see if anyone already knows...

I guess really I want to power to specify which buttons to and not to have in my toolbar, but I'm not sure it lets you do that or how.

UPDATED TO ADD: A co-worker pointed out that if you hold down the 'Alt' key, you can drag buttons wherever you want them, including off of the toolbar.

Right-click on a blank area of the toolbar. You can check and uncheck what you want to show. Down at the bottom, you can choose "Customize" for more options including, at least on mine, "Always show full toolbar."

I'm on Word XP, but it should be a similar process, if it's not identical.
