Well, you can't "remove" the task pane, but assuming you are talking about
Word 2002 or 2003 and the task pane you want to nobble is the Getting
Started pane, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...owTaskPane.htm.
Note that in Word 2003 with the latest SPs applied, this will generate a SQL
warning, but once you have used the add-in, which edits the Registry, you
can uninstall it.

How can I get rid of the task pane in Word.
I have used tools - customise - removed the V at task pane
But the task pane keeps on appearing.
Thank you.
