MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / February 2005Opened with Word's "Getting Started" and 4 tool bars
I am running Word 2003 on Windows XP SP2. When I open a new document I get the document opened with Word's "Getting Started" and 4 tool bars (Standard, Formatting, Task Pane and PDF Maker). I would like New Word Documents to start with out the "Getting Started", without the PDF Maker toolbar and with the tool configuration I choose (I add some icons to the Formatting tool bar using Tools -> options. I would like the old documents to open with the toolbars as I left them. I have changed the normal.dot in C;\Documents and Settings\Jeffrey\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates to the configuration that I want, but after I save it, I open any word document (old or new) I get the original configuration as described above. How can I make my changes stick? Thanks for any help. If you have already cleared the "Show at startup" box on the Getting Started task pane, and that is not working, you need the Task Pane Controller from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/ShowTaskPane.htm. As for the Adobe toolbar, see http://www.gmayor.com/lose_that_adobe_acrobat_toolbar.htm  SignatureSuzanne S.

Thanks for any help. Have you selected the appropriate settings in the Task Pane Controller to suppress the task pane? SignatureSuzanne S.
