Is there an auto macro in your Normal template? Are you running an add-in
that could possibly affect this behavior?

Every time I open a word document, new or exsisting, the document map pane
opens on the left of the screen. Obviously I can close it at that stage,
but
would like to stop it opening autimatically every time. Can someone tell
me
how t do this please. Jill
