Default Where is the Office Tool Bar in office 2003?

I just loaded Office 2003 Professional. It seems the office tool bar was
eliminated. Is this true? Is there a way to have it?

There is no Office Shortcut Bar in Office 2003. You can install the OSB
from a previous version of Office if you have one. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822573 "Office Shortcut Bar is not
included in Office 2003" for other suggested workarounds.

Another NSF. If you'd spent five minutes searching or RTFH you'd have found
your answer. The OSB is obsolete. Reason? Office 2003 only installs on three
operating systems (2000 (SP3+), XP and 2003) and they all have innate
functionality that renders it so. You can create a new toolbar (on the
standard Windows toolbar) that performs the same function. I have *never*
used the OSB - ever and I've been using Office (or its components) for over
15 years.

1) Open the drive Office is installed on.
2) Navigate to the Office folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office 11)
3) Open another instance of your same drive and create a new folder in
the root
4) Name the folder Office and drag the Office executables to it and
shortcuts will automatically be created. Do this for as many apps as your
version of Office contains (I have Pro, and I have added Visio and Project,
so I have 9 icons in that folder).
5) Create a new folder within that one and name it 'Tools'.
6) To this one add anything that isn't a main Office program (I'm talking
about the Language Settings, Document Scanning, etc that isn't a main
application).
7) Right click the Toolbar and select 'create new toolbar'
8) Navigate to the folder you have just created and click 'OK' You will
now have a new toolbar that will perform the same functions as the OSB.
