I am trying to start publisher 2007 in 100% view and without the task pane at
the side appearing. Can anyone help me please ?

I use Publisher 2000 and have the startup as you would like. This
may be the same or similar in 2007.

Tools
Options
Uncheck "Use catalog at startup."
OK

===========================================
Hey Don...

Almost still the same )

Tools
Options
Uncheck "Show Publication Types when starting Publisher"
OK

If you are asking about the *Format Publication* taskbar, you can't rid yourself
of it. It is a tear-off, you can resize it to small and drag it to a less
intrusive area of your screen. Publisher will remember this setting and the task
pane will be minimize the next time you open the application.

Thanks for your reply but i have tried these settings it still opens with the
task pane, even tho i have unticked all the right boxes. I am using
Publisher 2007.

You cannot rid yourself of the task pane. You can tear it off; minimize it;
drag it to a less obtrusive area of your screen. Publisher will remember
this setting the next time you open the program.
