Where do I get a shortcut in Office 2003 to invoke the Screen Sav.

After installing Office 2003 and letting it remove earlier versions of
Office, I lost my shortcut to invoke the Screen Saver with password
protection. I have found that making a shortcut to a specific screen saver
allows me to run it in "preview" mode which does provide password security to
cancel the screen saver.
Help!

I'm not sure why you think the screen saver has anything to do with Office,
or that you can access it from within Office. The screen saver is a function
of your operating system. You should be posting in a group specific to your
OS (presumably XP, 2000 or 2003 as you're running Office 2003).

Well, since the shortcut to call the screen saver original was installed as
part of the OFFICE 2000 Shortcut Bar, I thought it would make sense to ask
the question here.
I appreciate your suggestion and will post in other groups if no one gives
me an answer here.

So what you're /really/ asking is "What happened to the Office Shortcut
Bar?" If you'd spent a nanosecond or two Googling you'd have found your
answer - it's been made redundant because the operating systems that 2003 is
compatible with all have better ways of doing the same thing.

In Office 2000 that shortcut invokes OSA9.exe with the -s option. I
believe the filename is slightly different in Office XP, and it may not
exist at all in Office 2003 since it's the program that also launches the
toolbar. If you have an older version of office, you might check to see
if a copy of that program will run independently of the rest of Office.
