MS Word Monster Tab

Downloading resumes from Microsoft Office Online is somewhat convenient but has a number of problems. The focus of this question is regarding the MONSTER.COM tab in the file menu. How can one remove the MONSTER.COM tab from the file menu when dealing with a sample or template resume downloaded from MSO Online?

I hate advertisements with extreme prejudice and do everything possible to avoid them.

I Googled "MS Word Monster Tab" and "MONSTER.COM tab" couldn't find anything relevant, besides your own post here.

I did find a web site called "MONSTER.COM".

Care to explain more?

Hope this helps.

I recommended the following:

Delete the normal.dotm file while MSWord is closed under:
C:Users<user>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftTemplates

Then re-open Word and a new blank one should be created.

I deleted all the template files, re-opened word and the Lisa Miller resume had gone, so had the MONSTER.COM tab, and all the original word templates worked OK.

MONSTER.COM IT support had no idea what the problem was, and how it fix it. All the templates have gone, along with the TAB advertising.

So, I too downloaded this stupid template. Found this and was like shoot no easy answer. Went back into Word and if you have enabled the developer tab go to "Document Template" replace the junk that is the document template box with "normal" and poof no more stupid monster tab. Sure it's still "available" on the templates overall but it removes it from the resume document you created.

Open the "Monster" document in question.

Click on "Office" button.

Select "Prepare" then "Inspect Document"

A report comes up.... the Monster info is under "Document properties and personal information. Just remove it.

Note: I had to remove it under each document created.
