MS Office 2003 Missing Office Toolbar

I have just upgraded from MS Office XP to MS Office 2003. I used to have the
old Office toolbar in the top right hand corner of my screen at all times not
matter what program I was running. After Office 2003 had been loaded, this
toolbar was no longer ther. So off I went to try and set it up again. WRONG
It would appear that with Office 2003 this is not available any more. BAD
MISTAKE Microsoft, this toolbar is very useful and any program can be
configured on this toolbar, it saves a lot of time and messing about.
Does anybody know if this toolbar can be configured in MS Office 2003 or
know of any program that someone has written so that the users can get this
toolbar back if they so wish.

Oh look! Another troglodyte has just emerged from the world's deepest cave
system - ever think of Googling, idiot? It has no OSB because it's
OBSOLETE - the operating systems that 2003 can be installed on render it so.
Use the native toolbar creation tools.

1) Open the drive Office is installed on.
2) Navigate to the Office folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office 11)
3) Open another instance of your same drive and create a new folder in
the root
4) Name the folder Office and drag the Office executables to it and
shortcuts will automatically be created. Do this for as many apps as your
version of Office contains (I have Pro, and I have added Visio and Project,
so I have 9 icons in that folder).
5) Create a new folder within that one and name it 'Tools'.
6) To this one add anything that isn't a main Office program (I'm talking
about the Language Settings, Document Scanning, etc that isn't a main
application).
7) Right click the Toolbar and select 'create new toolbar'
8) Navigate to the folder you have just created and click 'OK' You will
now have a new toolbar that will perform the same functions as the OSB.

And that's more help than you deserve.

MS Office 2003 Missing Office Toolbar

Miss Perspicacia,
The main reason the OSB wasn't included in MS Office 2003 Pro (Ihave the
same version) was that MS Senior Management in the infinite wisdom deemed it
too expensive to change the code over to the same as Office 2003.
I hav sometimes 8 or 9 programs running at once on my computer all were
shown on this toolbar, and then I would nedd to open more to all my necessary
work.
Seeing as MS spend Millions and Millions on advertising there software
bundles each year the cost of converting this small toolbar would have been
'chicken Feed' compared to this.
Thanks anyway for your help, it will get tried as will a couple of other
ways I have now gotten information on.
Ian
