OK thank you for your help. I've done that and it works, although it takes a
second or so longer for Word to fully open now. Ive checked Excel and it
works perfectly well, with the task pane present at startup and opens
instantly.

Some add-ins will prevent it from appearing. See

Note that you need only run the Task Pane Controller macro once (to change
the Registry setting); then you should uninstall the Task Pane Controller
add-in because it will cause problems in recent versions of Word (triggers
an "Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" message when you start
Word).

Whenever I have opened up Word, the Task Pane has always appeared and now
it
has disappeared. I have to click on View, and click on Task Pane for it to
appear. Also, in Tools, Options, View, under Show, there is a check by
Startup Task Pane.
I am wondering why it is now never there when opening up from the
beginning?
