Office Shortcut Bar in MS Office for Mac, 2004.

[tarek58]

I have MS Office 2004 for Mac.
I know that MS Office for Windows has an "Office Shortcut Bar," whcih
is just a bar that sits in the corner of your screen and launches
automatically when the computer starts.
Is there such a shortcut bar in the Mac version? If so, how can I
enable it?

Hi Tarek,

The build-in feature of MacOS called the Dock made the Office Shortcut
Toolbar redundant.

You can drag any folder icon, for Example the Microsoft Office 2004, to
the dock and you can get a pop=up directory. Some people drag the
applications folder to the dock to get this effect.

The dock is very flexible. There are many 3rd party programs you use to
enhance its functionality. Investigate some of these:

I have found it useful to drag the "Project Gallery Launcher" to the dock
(find it in the 'Office' folder in the Microsoft Office 2004" folder in
Applications).

This gives quick and easy access to the project gallery (not Entourage's
projects, but the office wide Projects Gallery that holds your recent files,
templates etc).
