Microsoft Office Manager Tool Bar

[Jasc]

Under MS Office 2000 I had the MOM tool bar - under MS Office 2003 there is not an option unless I am not doing something right. Can someone please tell me how to get the MOM toolbar for MS Office 2003? Thanks.

Hi Jasc,

MS changed the name from MOM to OSB (Office Shortcut Bar) in Office 97.
(Wordperfect had come out with 'DAD' <g>). The Office Shortcut
Bar has been discontinued. Here are some options you may want
to consider.

1. 3rd party products.

There are what appear to be free 3rd party toolbars
that some folks say they like using.\

This one is is similar to use to the OSB
http://jetaudio.com/products/jettoolbar
and one that is a bit more techie oriented but with
added features would be this one.

2. Using Windows Toolbar Customization Features

You can use the Quicklaunch toolbar in
Windows or create a new Toolbar by right clicking
on a blank spot on the Windows Taskbar, unlocking it
and creating a new toolbar(folder) and drag the Office
or other shortcut icons to it. You can tear off that
toolbar and place it and size it as needed anywhere on
your desktop as well.

3. Use an Older version of the Office Shortcut Bar

If you have an older version of Office with the shortcut
bar and running MSOffice.exe from Start=>Run doesn't
start it, you can do a custom install of the old version
of Office and choose just the Shortcut bar. (Note that this
may put a great deal of the core old Office files back on
the PC if you've removed the older version). The OSB
should work, but will be 'as is' and doesn't support
things like high resolution icons.

By any chance, is OSB or MOM still available in OfficeXP?
I miss it...and I can't find it on the install disk...

Yes. Run Office install and locate it in the feature tree.
