make a patch to get an office shortcut bar in 2003

[disgruntled new user]

not having an office shortcut desktop toolbar in office 2003 is the stupidest
reprogramming I have come across in all your editions!!! I loved that bar
and don't know anyone who doesn't use it! Do the computing world a favor and
write a patch to give us a toolbar!!!

you can send MS a suggestion here.

You can install the office SCB from a older version of Office or to
create a Shortcut Tool Bar for Office 2003 using the Windows task Bar.
Create a folder with shortcuts for all office programs. Right Click On
the Task Bar select Toolbars New Toolbar and Navigate to the folder
containing your Office shortcuts and select it, click OK. However if
you drag the toolbar off the Task Bar and then later close after using
the toolbar you will need to recreate it to use again.

There are some other alternatives as well if you search the news group
you will find some of the other alternatives that are offered. I
personally like perfect menu for it's functionality
