Task Pane and Word 2003 Template

[Joe]

Hi,

I'm developing a Word 2003 Template with a custom task pane. I try to
compute the behavior that the task pane is only visible when i open the
document as a template. when i open the document in doc mode, the task pane
should be hidden.

I've tried to use the command: "Application.CommandBars["Task Pane"].Visible
= false", but it doesn't work. The task pane is always visible, when i open
the document in doc mode.

If somebody know how to fix this, please tell me. thx.
Joe

Templates should not be designed to used by selecting Open from the File
menu and then selecting the template. Rather, they should be used by
selecting New from the File menu and then selecting the template.

I would use a userform rather than a task pane.
