Restoring the Screensaver Button to the Office Toolbar

P

Paul

I accidentally deleted the Screensaver Button from the
Office XP shortcut toolbar and have been unsuccessful in
restoring it. A search of the Knowledge Base has also
failed to yield me any results.

Can someone tell me how to get it operational again, so
that it obeys settings like requiring the user password
to unlock after being activated, etc?

right click on the toolbar and select customize. On the Files Tab, select
add file and browse to the folder where the Office short cut bar is located.
Select the Screen Saver button.

To set the Screen Saver options, go to control panel->display. Set the
default screensaver there as well as the options for how long to wait and
whether to require a password.

Thanks - that worked...by the way, what search criteria
in either Office Help or the Knowledge Base would have
yielded a helpful result, if any? (I am still mastering
searching the Knowledge Base...)

Erm... MVP = Most Voracious Peruser...

There is no "method" for mastering KB searches... unless your name is Bob
Buckland and you have the entire KB memorized. <eg>

As for that answer, it comes by trial and error. I use the Office Shortcut
bar extensively (I have about 4 different ones defined) so adding programs
to it is second nature to me now. So, of course, they remove the OSB in
Office 2003, thereby forcing me to learn another method for using the OS
toolbars.
