Opens with vertical split. How stop

[Alexander]

I mistakenly hit some key combination and caused a vertical split. I can
eliminate it, in fact I have to, by doing a window/remove split.

How can stop Word from opening with this vertical split?

The left column is an index.

It sounds like Document Map ... but there isn't any "vertical split"
command, is there???

This is not Document Map; I can understand why you thought that.

This vertical pane gets eliminated by using [window][remove split]

So, how are you getting a vertical split? Unless you're typing in
Chinese, what would be its purpose? When I click the "Split" button, I
get a horizontal line that moves up and down until I click where I
want it to be, and the button changes to "Remove Split."

An index sounds like Document Map, Thumbnails, or perhaps a table of
contents in a frame. Or wait: Could this be a task pane on the left? Some
documents have "template help" task panes. Or, if you're just opening Word,
could it be the Getting Started task pane?

I had a finger fault and hit some combination of keys by mistake. I don't
know what that combination was.

Hi, Suzanne,

It is a collection of thumbnails in a vertical stack, 1 for each page in the
document.

I followed up on your implicit suggestion, found out about Task Pane in Help
and went into Tools / Options / View and turned off "Sartup Task Pane" with
great hopes.

Alas, even with that unchecked I still get this vertical pane.

You picked up the wrong suggestion -- you said yourself that the extra column
contains "thumbnails". Open the View menu and click the Thumbnails item to turn
it off. The key combination is Alt+V, B.

For anyone else who has a similar display in Word 2007, the Thumbnails item
there is a checkbox in the Show/Hide group of the View ribbon.

If you'd said "thumbnails" in the first place, you'd have had an
answer right away.
