How do I permanently close the master document toolbar in Word 2011?

When working with documents in outline view in Word 2011 it occasionally opens a "Master Document" toolbar in-between the Mac menu and the document. When it does it resizes the document window a bit to fit the toolbar.

How do I permanently get rid of this toolbar?

I can click on the small close icon and it will go away for this session. I then have to resize the window again. However it pops up next time I run Word and open an outline document.

I have also tried clicking on the side arrow to select "customize toolbar and menus" and disabling it there; it still shows up next time.

Thanks,
dave

Answer
That toolbar is actually triggered by View> Master Document. If you dismiss the toolbar then switch to a different view & back to Outline View the toolbar will not return.

I believe this is specific to individual documents though. Once Master Document has been invoked in any given file it will persist until you do as above.
