In Word 95 and Word 97 I had a bar on the desktop from where I opened Word
and new and old files. Now I have Word2002 but can't find that option.

Does it exist?

Thank you

Hi Peter

Try Start All Programs Microsoft Office XP Tools Microsoft Office
Shortcut Bar, or something like that depending on how your system is set up.

However, don't get too attached to the shortcut bar - it was removed in
Office 2003, although it is still possible to install it on a machine
running Office 2003 or Office 2007, but only if you have an old copy of
Office XP lying around.

Hope this helps.

I don't have that option in my XP Word 2002: (Start All Programs
Microsoft Office XP Tools Microsoft Office
Shortcut Bar)

I have Microsoft Office Tools but not MS Off Shortcut Bar.

I do have an old version of Office97.

What do I have to do?

Thank you

Try using Windows Explorer to search for MSOffice.exe and double-click it.

In Office XP, the Office Shortcut Bar is an optional feature that
is not automatically installed unless you select it in a custom
installation. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290122 "The
behavior of the Office Shortcut Bar (OSB) in Office XP differs
from the OSB in earlier versions than Office 97".
