Task pane controller
Some time ago, I downloaded a Task Pane Controller which works well in Word.
I wonder if anyone can tell me if there is something similar for Excel 2003. I can view the Task Pane via the View toolbar but it 'floats', i.e. it will not stay put as it does in Word. This is really annoying when I tab along columns and the Task Pane moves! Sorry to ask in a Word newsgroup but I can't find an equivalent in Excel. TIA |

You shouldn't need any 3rd party stuff for this:-)
In Excel - with the Task Pane displayed - position your pointer in the gray space just to the right of the Home icon. Drag the Pane to either edge of the screen - top, bottom, left, right - until it snaps into a docked position. It should stay there and continue to reappear in that location any time it's activated... even after restarting the program. Are you finding that it doesn't do so? -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "oe" wrote in message ... Some time ago, I downloaded a Task Pane Controller which works well in Word.

Task pane controller
Thanks for your help.
For some reason, the task pane had come slightly adrift from the right-hand side of the screen, whch was causing it to 'jump' when I tabbed to the right. It's fine now.
