Word 2002: New document Task Pane - startup problem
Hi there,
When I start Microsoft Word 2002, the new document Task Pane does not appear or the area where the Task Pane should be located appears briefly and disapprears. The Task Pane should usually be located at the MS Word startup on the right side of the screen. The Problem occurs even if the "Show Task Pane at the startup" check box is selected in the path: Tools = Options = View tab. The above problem is described in Microsoft Knowkedge Base KB - Article ID 295341; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295341/en-us . Well, Microsoft advices to delete any files that are located in the MS Word Startup folders. I identified such two folders in the paths: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Offioce 10\Startup; and C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Applications Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP. And the folders were already empty. Thus - this is not a reason of my Task Pane startup problem, as it was suggested by the Microsoft team (see KB Article cited above). The question is: what to do? My hypothesis is that something is broken in my Windows Registry key entries related to MS Word or to MS Office. O.K. - but where is it? Do you have any suggestions? I would be grateful for some help. Greetings, -- Ajakibs Warsaw, Poland |

Word 2002: New document Task Pane - startup problem
Add-ins can cause the "Show Task Pane at startup" option to be ignored. See

Word 2002: New document Task Pane - startup problem
Hi Suzanne, and may thanks for your prompt advice.
I have just downloaded the Add-in: Task Pane Controller for Word; using the link you kindly given in your message. The add-in has been installed in my PC in the form of 2 files (".dot" and ".doc"): C:\Program Files\Task Pane Controller Files\TaskPaneController.dot - and - Setup.doc. Moreover, to make the Task Pane Controller add-in available each time Word starts, the template "TaskPaneController.doc" has been placed (as a global template - as I suppose) into my MS Word Startup folder; i.e. in: C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Applications Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP. The add-in name "Task Pane Controller" is now seen in the MS Word menu: Tools = Task Pane Controller; and - when clicking on it the add-in dialog window appears. So, all seems to be O.K. besides one a very annoying matter: after the start-up of my MS Word I am getting every time - at be beginning - the ghostly announcement (I am translating it from the Polish language): "Microsoft Word: Opening of this document will cause the starup of the following SQL command: (!). Data from data base will be located into this document. Do you want to continue? Yes/No". After setting "Yes" or "No" - the desired window of the New Document with the Task Pane attached (to the right side) - appears. Well, could you please explaining me what is going on and how to remove the mentioned above annoying announcement. -- Ajakibs Warsaw, Poland Użytkownik "Suzanne S. Barnhill" napisał w wiadomości ...

Word 2002: New document Task Pane - startup problem
Yep, the TaskPaneController add-in causes that SQL message in installations
that have been patched with the latest update. Once the add-in has done its thing (changed a Registry setting, I gather), you can remove it from the Startup folder, and the message will no longer appear. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2002: New document Task Pane - startup problem

Hi Suzanne, [...] In present situation I can propose the simplest way of the problem fixing: 1. Using Windows Regedit utility find the Registry subkey: HKEY\CURRENT-USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\General 2. Go to the value named: "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" and choose the value "1" (i.e do not dismiss) or "0" (i.e. do dismiss). Remark: Of course, the subkey "10" is for Word 2002/XP users and the subkey "11" should be considered (in place of "10") by the users of Word 2003. [...] Sorry, but some misprint has occured in my cited above message. Namely, the the registry subkey name should be written as follows: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\ Common\General" Moreover, one has to check additionally the following Windows Registry entry: "HKEY_USERS\S-heksadecimal user ID\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\General" ; and - once again - the subkey value "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" should be set to "1". In the given above Registry path the heksadecimal user ID is a specific user ID determined as a heksadecimal number. Thus, the above means that - for any particular user - the given above subkey should be find using the standard "Registry Editor Edition Find" function (applied for the Hive: HKEY_USERS).
