office shortcut bar

[Guest]

Have just upgraded to office 2003 and I cant find the 'office shortcut bar'
anywhere. It used to sit to oneside of my desktop and provided quick access
to programs you placed on it.

Oh, FFS! This is *TOO* much - this question was asked not 12 hours ago - is
it really asking too much for people to *GOOGLE* before posting?! Do your
own research first you lazy twonk.

As mentioned, you should search the group for alternatives:

Miss Perspicacia Tick wrote a comprehensive how to for a Windows XP
alternative recently as she mentioned.
Another alternative is relevant to computer specifications, just keep what
Office applications your using open in the task bar. I do this daily between
2 domains and doesn't use any extra resources.

I hope it was typed with a touch less vitriol than are her frequent posts. I
do wonder sometimes whether she's an independently wealthy performance
artist.

To the OP:
Before proceeding with any attempt at rescue of the Office Toolbar, try
copying your frequently-used shortcuts to the QuickLaunch bar in Windows
instead - I think it is MUCH better. The Office Toolbar was really a waste
of desktop space & resources - the QL bar is really a lot nicer when you get
used to it.

I wish! £500pcm disability! I get my temperament from my father's side I'm
afraid; his uncle was an actor - made quite a bit, then drank and gambled
most of it away.

Have you checked under the couch? Perhaps there's a large burlap sack full
of bearer bonds there. That's where mine often end up.

I wish! I cried when I found £10,000 worth of expired share certificates and
dividend cheques under my grandfather's bed, though - dating back to pre-WW2
(well, almost!). He has a massive 6-bed house in the middle of nowhere (my
grandmother died last year) and he's got papers (and other junk) dating back
nearly three-quarters of a century.

Well, at least he didn't will his estate to PETA.
