I am using Word 2003. I dont want Task Pane from appear at all. I have a template that give restricted acess to users but with the access to Task Pane users are able do lot things that they are not supposed to do. Whenever they press F1 key for help, Task Pane opens and gives them access to the following Task Pane menus and this is basically breaking our customization. Task Pane Menus Getting Started Help Search Results Clip Art New Document Shared Workspace Document Updates Protect Document Styles and Formatting Reveal Formatting Mail Merge XML Structure
I'm sure there are other ways they can 'break' it too. Live with it! Word provides a customizable interface for USERS to customize their environments. It does not provide facilities for administrators to lock things down. If you don't want your users using the facilities of Word don't give them Word. If they do need the facilities then train them to (a) use them properly and (b) follow your company standards -- Enjoy, Tony "kandy" wrote in message news:DCA34334-29A9-42DA-B44E-1E3DCC4C50CA@microsoft.com... > I am using Word 2003.
