I have already searched Word Help on this issue. I would like to turn off
the Task Pane Toolbar at Startup so that it does not appear when I open
documents or Word. The Help instructions said to close all Word docs and go
to ToolsOptions. However, Options is greyed out and inaccessible to me. Is
there another way? Any assistance would be welcome.

Hi Jennifer

See
Controlling the Task Pane, even when add-ins are present
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...owTaskPane.htm

This includes a link from which you can download the Task Pane Controller
that gives you real control over the task pane.

Hope this helps.
