Hi
Just upgraded to Office 2003. Is it possible to set up a new program button
bar. I found the old button bar very handy
 
If you are talking about a Start Menu Taskbar toolbar:

1. Right Click on empty spot of Start Menu TaskBar
2. Click on Toolbars... | New Toolbar
3. Navigate to you Office Installation folder, there should be a folder
name Office ## (don't know what number is for Office 2003 - 12? 13?)
4. Under that Folder you should see another folder named Shortcut Bar
5. Under that Folder you should see Office folder (or something that hints
that is the Office folder for the toolbar)
6. CLick on that folder name
7. Click OK

Once the toolbar has been added, you can right click on it and set whether
you want Title and Text.

What I do is create another Folder under ShortCut Bar, named My Office Bar.
In that folder I place all the shortcuts I want for the Office Toolbar on
TaskBar.

Then I use that toolbar instead of Microsoft's version of the Office
ShortCut Bar.

Once the toolbar is created and setup as you like, you can grab the toolbar
from the TaskBar and drag it to some other side of the desktop edge. When
you drop it, Windows will create a totally separate toolbar.

I have my Office Toolbar on the top of the desktop, Auto hide set on, and
Always on top On as well.
I also added the new Desktop Search bar along side of the Office icons.

Thanks for your reply
Office 2003 does not have a taskbar feature and what I am trying to do is
set up a new taskbar like the old Office one. I cannot drag the taskbar that
I create on the Start menu Taskbar to a new position on the desktop. So at
the moment its part of the bar and its a two click operation, one to open the
taskbar and the second to click on the program. Also the quick launch bar has
only three programs displayed which is limited
Thanks
Joe
