How do I turn it off so that it will not show up every time I open Word?

I know I can shut it down on the view menu, but I want to have it closed as
a default.

Hi Henry,

If you uncheck the Startup Task Pane under Tools>Options>View, it should not
appear when you start Word.

However, to learn how to gain more control over it, see the article “How to
make sure the Task Pane can appear when Word 2002 starts up, even when
add-ins are present“ at:

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
