Default Template Help

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.

Default Template Help

Press F1 to open the generic Help task pane. Click on the link for Online
Content Settings. Clear the check box for "Show Template Help automatically
when available."

Default Template Help

In the template (and documents you've already created based on the
template), click File/Properties and on the Custom tab delete the
_TemplateID custom file property.

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for
assistance by email cannot be acknowledged.
