How can I remove "TASK PANE" from WORD 2003. Every time I remove, it returns

Close all documents and WordMail messages.
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the View tab, clear the Startup Task Pane check box.
Exit Word.
When you start Word again, the task pane should not appear. If you continue
to experience problems, follow the link in the See Also box, which is visible
when you are connected to the Internet.

If clearing the "Show task pane at startup" box has not worked for you, you
need the Task Pane Controller add-in from

I've tried this add in and it won't install because it wants me to choose
"enable macros" in the installing process. I am unable to "enable macros"
because that choice is not available disable macros is the only choice I'm
given.

That how it's supposed to work but it doesn't. I've got mine unchecked yet I
still get that task pane at start up.

If you have installed the Task Pane Controller in Word's Startup folder and
have checked the box for "Trust all installed templates and add-ins" on the
Trusted Sources tab of Tools | Macro | Security, you shouldn't be getting a
macro prompt.
