In Word 2002, Windows XP, after I start Word:
when I click on "View/Taskpane" a column opens on the right that shows the
previously opened documents, new documents, etc.

This used to appear automatically when I opened Word, but now I need to
specifically open it after starting Word. Where do I tell Word to have that
Task Pane appear automatically when I start it?

Help does not tell me how to do that. It only discusses the "Styles and
formatting taskpane" which I do not think is this. Under Tools\Options, I
already have under the view tab the "Startup Task Pane" selected but it must
not refer to this document taskpane because it still does not appear on
startup.

Thanks.

Jeff

G'Day Jeff,

ToolsOptions
View (tab)
"Startup Task Pane" (Top Left) - CHECK the box.

Add-ins can override your setting. In that case, you need to get the Task
Pane Controller from

Thank you. That must be it.

How do I find out what add-ins I may have added and remove the offending one
if I do not use it? I probably only have one add-in.

Turned out to be a conflict with an add-in. Once I removed the add-in, all
was fine.

Note that the Task Pane Controller (recommended in my previous post) would
allow you to have the task pane displayed or not, as you choose, even with
add-ins.
