Always show full menus was already selected. This is how I normally work
with Office. Even so, there is no menu item for thumbnails, and I don't
know
where else to look to hide or eliminate thumbnails.

Somehow the thumbnail pane turned on in Word 2003. I see no Thumbnail
entry
in the View menu, and I don't see a way to close the thumbnail pane.
I
don't
want it now, don't want it to open on startup, and don't want it until
I
explicitly summon it. I don't even know how it got there! Thank you.
