Thanks, not only did that work, but you led me the area where I can customize
the installation. I'm sure, knowing this, I can get myself in all sorts of hot water!

Yes, unfortunately I can say from personal experience that a little
knowledge can be a dangerous thing... ADKR wrote: Thanks, not only did that work, but you led me the area where I can customize the installation.

I did this, and it didn't work. It seemed to run through updating, and then
the items were not on the start menu. I must be missing something obvious. I'd really appreciate your help if you have any ideas.

Start Menu Open Document
Hi Reporter,
Office setup usually creates the setup but the old style New and Open Office document shortcuts don't always autopin themselves to the Start menu. The 'New Office Document' shortcut doesn't take you to the New Document pane that you find in Word 2007 for example but to the link you would get to from Office Files Button=New and then clicking on 'My Templates'. In Windows XP, after installing the New & Open Office document choices, right click on the Start button, choose Explore (All user or the name of the current user) and you should see the shortcuts. Right click on each one and choose 'Pin to Start menu'. ============= "Socalreporter" wrote in message ... I did this, and it didn't work.

I'd really appreciate your help if you have any ideas. -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |
