Question with Office 2003

J

Jamie

I've just started using Office 2003, and am looking for a button I used to have in 2000. On the old office toolbar that could be located on the right side of the screen, there was a button that looked like a window with a shade partially pulled down. Clicking this button would make the screensaver immediately go on. You would have to enter in the password to unlock it. I have been told that this toolbar is no longer available, but I am wondering if somehow this button, or something simular to it is?
Thank you Thank you!

You're right in that the toolbar is missing from Office 2003; however,
Millie Staples gave the following directions for installing the toolbar,
from another Office version, in a previous response. Perhaps the same
directions would apply to Office 2000 as well:


Use Office XP installation disk, select a custom installation, make
everything UNavailable, scroll down to the Office Tools section and expand
that. Select the Office Shortcut bar and okay out. This will install JUST
the Office Shortcut Bar.

Screen savers are *.scr files. Find the one you want, right click on it and
send to Desktop as a shortcut. You leave the shortcut on your desktop or
move it to a toolbar.

Millie's response was:

To uncheck boxes (with no indication as to what boxes she was referring
to. When I asked for details no reply came.)

For all those who are interested in this thread:
|
| There is one significant issue with installing Office XP over an
| Office 2003 installation (to regain the Shortcut Bar) as explained in
| this Thread above.
|
| The issue is: When one goes to Office Update, Office XP is
| recognized!
|
| Therefore Office 2003 can not be updated

Yes 37MB of Shortcut-Only files. After which, MS Update saw only
Office XP therefore Office 2003 could not be updated. Proceed with
caution.

I don't live in the news groups and do take time out for a personal life.
Sorry if you did not get the speedy response that you expected.

Using the Office Update automatic check for updates, when the resulting list
of updates appear and you have several for Office XP, "uncheck the boxes for
Office XP updates."

Is that clear enough? BTW. my name is spelled Milly, not Millie.
