I recently had to reinstall XP on my laptop. Before that, there was an
option to create a new office document on the start menu. Now there
isn't.
What do I need to do to get that option back on the start menu?
I know I can add a shortcut to the start menu, but I don't know what
file to put there to launch the new document window.

Thanks

Hi t2true,

The shortcut I think your looking for is:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\osa10.exe" -n

the -n switch opens the New Office Document dialog
-f switch opens the Open Office Document dialog
-o switch opens the Office Shortcut bar.


Hope that helps.

I don't have that file on my laptop. I don't even have that folder. The
folder that is similar is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11.
I'm running Office 2003. Does that make a difference?

Thanks
