Office Shortcut Bar

[Obie]

Several versions of Office Suite, prior to "2007", included a "Shortcut Bar"
that allowed me to clean up my "Desktop". I miss it! How do I get it back
(with Vista)?

AFAIK there isn't one but you can add the "Open Document" and "New Document"
shortcuts to the Start Menu. You need to install them - they're not
installed by default.

Actually prior to 2003, the "shortcut bar" is now located in the
operating system, and is called a "toolbar". Please right-click on the
Taskbar and select "Toolbars", you may use one of the offered ones, or
build your own.

The toolbars you speak of do not even come close to replacing the Office
Shortcut Bar. I am with the others, I want it back.

Presently I am using a free product called FreeBar. It is a poor substitute
for the Original but still many times better than the toolbars available via
the taskbar.

As usual, MS throws away something good and gives you something only half as
good in return.

RC,

I'm with you on this one. One of the reasons I stick with Office
2000 on my personal laptop is because of the Office Tool Bar.

Thanks for the tip about FreeBar - I'll check that one out. Most of
the ones I've found so far and tried out where LAME!!

It's been gone for 2 Office generations, I seriously doubt the Office
team is going to put it back and add more problems to their workload.
