Styles Command Bar - make visible as default?

[xtine]

Hi

How do I put code into a template (either an individual one, or a
global one) that will switch on the Styles command bar as default.

I tried

CommandBars("Styles").Visible = True

but this errors saying

"method 'Visible' of object 'CommandBar' failed

What is the "Styles" command bar?
As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "Styles" command bar.
In older versions, you had to go through the Style Dialog, or use the the
"Formatting" command bar, which is usually displayed by default anyway.

In later versions, you can display the Styles and Formatting task pane as
follows:

Application.TaskPanes.Item(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible = True

Thanks - this works great

Is there a way to dock the TaskPane so that it is not floating?

Application.TaskPanes.Item(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible = True
CommandBars("Task Pane").Position = msoBarRight

For everything you ever wanted to know about task panes, and even stuff
you'd rather not know about... see:
