The information in this article applies to:
The Temporary parameter for the Visual Basic for Applications Control object does not work as expected.
The Temporary parameter is an optional argument associated with the Control object. Setting this parameter to True should make the new control temporary. Temporary controls are automatically deleted when the container application is closed.
In Word, when this parameter is set to True, the control should be temporary; however, Word ignores this parameter and the control becomes permanent.
For more information about the Temporary parameter, from the Visual Basic Editor, click the Office Assistant, type "Add Method," click Search, and then click to view "Add Method (CommandBars Collection)."
NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the Standard toolbar. If the Assistant is not able to answer your query, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
The Temporary feature is intended for programs that don't support session- specific settings. Because Word can store information in global templates or local templates, you can get all of the Temporary functionality without using the Temporary flag.
