Remarks
Displays or hides various elements in the active document or macro-editing window and the Word window. With the exception of .StatusBar, which controls the display of the status bar no matter which window is active, the arguments for ToolsOptionsView control the display of elements on a window-by-window basis. The arguments correspond to the options on the View tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu). As indicated in the following table, not all arguments are available in every view or in the macro-editing window. Specifying an argument that is not available in the active view generates an error.
