Who do I get Publisher 2003 to open to a blank page?

[silver]

I'd like to get Publisher 2003 to open to a blank page - no "start" page, no
"new publication" dialog box on the left...just click the icon and a plain,
blank page opens.

I'd like to get Publisher 2003 to open to a blank page - no "start"
page, no "new publication" dialog box on the left...just click the
icon and a plain, blank page opens.

Tools > Options > Uncheck "Use New Publication task pane at startup" > User
Assistance > Uncheck "Use a wizard for blank publications" > OK.

Restart Publisher.
