Which files from a previous version of Office will install MOSB i.

[Alg]

I read an article on Microsoft's site from Beth Melton, MVP, MOS Master
Instructor, where she states that since the MOSB was not included in 2003, it
could be installed from a previous version of Office. What I would like to
know is which files or procedure must be installed to obtain the MOSB again.
Currently, I have the Office products set up on the Quick Launch Toolbar, but
this takes up a lot of room on the Taskbar. In addition, on the MOSB, I was
able to place shortcuts to all the other programs that I used frequently so
that I would not have to go back to my Desktop or go to the Start button to
select them. As an aside, why were the Microsoft programmers so
"short-sighted" to get rid of the MOSB, when so many people used and loved
that product? Does anyone have any insight as to whether Microsoft realizes
that they made an error with this action and will they correct it with an
update in the future?

Nah, they really don't give a damn what we want. Bill already decided that we
didn't want the OSB and that's that. All you need to do is run the setup
program from your previous version of Office and choose only the OSB to
install. It's under Tools IIRC.
