YES! EXACTLY!
I had to delete a key under 'Policies' subdirectory of Windows!
Thank you very much for support, I appreciate.

I agree - a registry issue. See if

fixes it. The item shows how to hide the bar. The converse to that would be
to display it.

I'll check your links and I'll write here what I found.
The truth is that after reinstalling Office, I took normal.dot from a
backup in order to recover settings and especially macros! I hope
that I don't have to crash that and have a brand new normal.dot.

But I have exactly the same problem with Excel (I didn't checked with
ppt) and if I open Excel in safe mode I also recover the places bar.
This points toward a registry problem and not a Normal.dot problem, I
guess. It this correct?

Thanks anyway.

Does it come back if you open Word in its safe mode (Hold the CTRL
key whilst starting)? If it does, see
http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm especially
in relation to normal.dot, add-in templates and the Word data key in
the registry. If not I am out of ideas.

Yes, it build a new key, but the places bar doesn't show.

Any other hint?

Hi,
I had to reinstall my computer and in Word 2003, when I click File
Open, I don't have on the left side the bar with the five icons
(My Favorites, Desktop, ...).

I don't want to add a place to the bar, I found plenty of
questions about that. I want the entire bar to appear.

Thanks
Olivier
