Default Opening Screen in 2007

Using Office 2007

When one of my users open Publisher, she sees a "Getting Started With
Publisher" screen when she must choose "blank page size" and then navigate
through all the blank page sizes that are available to find the standard 8
1/2 by 11. This happens every time she launches Publisher.

Another user opens Publisher and immediately has a blank page that is 8 1/2
by 11 and is ready for typing. I have looked under Tools / Customize and
Tools / Options to find the place to uncheck the getting started screen as
the opening screen. Cannot find what I'm looking for, so I'm obviously
looking in the wrong place.

How can I configure Publisher 2007 so that when it is opened, the user
immediately sees a screen ready for input?

Uncheck *Show Publication Types when starting Publisher* in the Tools menu.

The *Format Publication* task pane is always on the opening screen. It can be
closed or minimized. If you minimized the task pane (it is a tear off),
Publisher will remember this the next time you open the application.

This sounds like what I'm looking for, but I cannot find it. There is
nothing in the Tools menu that says "Show Publication Types when starting
Publisher" in version 2007. Should I be looking somewhere else for this
checkbox? We are not having a problem with the Format Publication task
pane that is visible. It's the other one we'd like to turn off.

==========================
Tools / Options / General tab...

Uncheck the box...

"Show Publication Types When Starting Publisher" / OK

Never mind. I just found it on the "general" tab in Tools Options.
Thanks
