Office Shortcut Bar

[Bobbie]

I really liked the Office Shortcut Bar in Office 97. Used it all the time.
We've upgraded to Office 2003 which doesn't have that feature. Does anyone
know of a replacement that works in XP Pro? I've setup a Windows Toolbar
but when I click 'show desktop' it minimizes. The Office Shortcut Bar would
remain in place (visible) when I used 'show desktop' and that's what I'd
like to have.

Thanks in advance
Bobbie

Use of Windows XP Quick Launch Toolbar.

Right click on Taskbar and select unlock.
Move the Quick Launch Toolbar to the top or side of your display.
Right click on Taskbar and select lock.
Right click on Quick Launch Toolbar and select auto-hide and always on
top.

The Quick Launch Toolbar will now behave like the Office Shortcut bar. You
will need to manually delete default shortcuts you
do not want and add those you do want.

I LIKE it. Thanks! I've been using Quick Launch but in the default
position I wasn't able to see all the shortcuts I wanted to have available.
Your fix works great

Appreciate the help!
