Everytime I open a template in Word 2003, whether it is a new template or
a
saved docu from a template, the Template Help side bar opens too. Since I
prefer to see the entire page I'm working on, the first thing I must do is
close the side bar. Would any one know of a way to keep the Template Help
side bar from opening until requested? All ideas, suggestions, and
comments
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.
