Getting rid of Task Panes

[John Bacon]

I've been using Office 2002 for the past 6 months and the task panes are
driving me insane. Is there some way to revert to the Office 200 way of doing
things?

John,

I think the way I did it was to un-check the 'Show at startup' check box
at the foot of the each task pane. I think you have to do that in each
Office application.

Thanks, I've already done that but I still get a pane when I format styles
for instance.

Hi John,

Ah, sorry about that. If you're formatting styles I think you may be a
bit advanced in comparison to me...

What about un-checking 'Task Pane' in the 'View' menu drop-down? Does
that not work either?

That's my best shot, I'm afraid.

Hi John,

You can drag the older Word commands such
as Format=>Style to a menu in Word using
Tools=>Customize=>Commands and assign
them keyboard shortcuts, but there are
features supported through the taskpane
that aren't as readily available without
it.

There are also newer style feature settings
in Tools=>Options.
