Does Office 2003 come with an Office Toolbar or not?

I have a new work computer and it's nowhere to be found. I thought it
was an anomily, but another new computer at work is the same way.
Soooo, I downloaded a trial version of Office 2003 standard edition on
my new home computer and there's no toolbar! Why? I've never heard
of a standard edition before. My previous versions were home office
(at home) and office pro (at work)... is that the problem that it's
"standard"?

Any Ideas about how to get that toolbar?

TIA

The toolbar is gone.
I remember a thread a few weeks ago on the same subject. You can search
for it, Google is your friend.
In short the workaround was to create a Windows Toolbar. I can't
explain it better, so please search for the original thread.

If it has an "X" in the name, it must be Linux?

There are various Office packages, with names that reflect the supplied
content, however Office 2003 (any version) does not include the Office
Toolbar.

The Quick Launch toolbar has replaced the troublesome Office shortcut bar.
Just drag shortcuts to the QL bar.

The Quick Launch toolbar has replaced the troublesome Office shortcut bar.

It was troublesome? Not in all the years I've used it! You can even
temporarily hide it if you don't like it on your screen permanently.

Is it gone forever or just in 2003?

Just drag shortcuts to the QL bar.

Not sure that will set right with me. I knew I hated using the
quicklaunch bar well before I discovered the Office shortcut bar
option.

I hope it comes back after Office 2003. I have relied on the Office toobar
for a long time. I know of no problems associated with it. At least, I
have never had any.

Right now, I am using my Office XP CD to do a custom install and install
just the Office XP toolbar into my Office 2003 program. Works fine.

That's a good idea! The problem is - I thought I Office Pro was
installed on my work computer. I guess I need to go back and check
the version now.

There are different versions of Office Pro. You are probably using Office
2003 Professional if you can not install the Office toolbar. If you have an
older Office Professional CD, such as you might have for Office XP
Professional, you could install the toolbar from the older version of
Office, which would be Office XP.

Both Office XP Professional and Office 2003 Professional are Office
Professional. The older one (XP) does have the toolbar; the newer version
of Office Professional (2003) does not.

Office Pro(fessional) is not a version; it's a SKU. Both Office 2003 and
Office XP come in Standard, Professional, and other packages.
