Office 2003 Shortcut bar

I just upgraded to Windows XP Pro. & Office 2003 Pro. from Windows 98 with Office 97. How do I setup/display the shortcut bar?

There is no Shortcut Bar for Office 2003. You can install the office SCB
from a older version of Office or to create a Shortcut Tool Bar for Office
2003 using the Windows task Bar. Create a folder with shortcuts for all
office programs. Right Click On the Task Bar select Toolbars New Toolbar
and Navigate to the folder containing your Office shortcuts and select it,
click OK. However if you drag the toolbar off the Task Bar and then later
close after using the toolbar you will need to recreate it to use again.

There are some other alternatives as well if you search the news group you
will find some of the other alternatives that are offered. I personally like
perfect menu for it's functionality

Control the things you can and Don't Worry about the things you can't
control.
