216374 2004-02-18 04:38:00 Just installed Office 2003 Pro for a friend. It's great but where has the good old 'shortcut bar' gone to? ?:| ?:|

Thanks for the information. It looks like I won't be upgrading to Office 2003 Pro in a hurry. I love that little toolbar! They could have at least included it on the CD as an extra feature.

216379 2004-02-18 08:22:00 I havent got 2003 version but its interesting they've scrapped it. The file that starts the shortcut bar is called OSA.EXE in your office folder but Im not sure whether it needs any other associated files. I suppose you could try and copy that file from a previous installation and see if it works in 2003. Beats installing an old version of office just to use this. parry (27)
216380 2004-02-18 09:38:00 I would dearly miss it. I use the Office toolbar for at least six other apps as well as the Office programs, and it sure beats filling up the Quick Launch toolbar in XP with these 11 programs.

216383 2004-02-18 11:52:00 Yah office toolbar is first thing to remove after fresh install.

If the quicklaunch is too cluttered, have you tried making quicklaunch folders. You make a folder on C:\ drive and put all your favourite shortcuts in there. Then you right click on the quicklaunch bar and go add new toolbar, and select the folder you just made. Then you should see a new thing on the quicklaunch with shortcuts in it with a '>>' symbol to make u open it up and it shows all the programs. :O
