Insert the XP disk and select a custom install. I click on the Unavailable
box at the top of the tree to save time. Then expand the Office Tools
Section and on the Office toolbar, use "install to hard drive." Okay out
and it should install just fine.
(Note, you will still have to enter the product key, even if you are only
using this tiny stub of Office.)

|| As for the Office Shortcut Bar, I, too miss it and installed the
|| prior version (Office XP) shortcut bar. It *is* duplicative of the
|| quicklaunch and other toolbars that you can create using the OS

|| System 2003) but familiar things are hard to give up.
||
|| If these are the only complaints that you have about Office 2003 (so
|| far at least) then Microsoft has done a pretty good job of it.
