Whenever I open Excel 2003 the Help feature opens on the right.
How do I pevent this? I only want Excel to open with a new sheet.

Help or TaskPane.

For Help, you should be able to close it using the "x" and next time open
Excel should not display.

If TaskPane, go to Tools>Options>View and uncheck "Startup Task Pane"
