Show task pane

In Word 2002, Windows XP, after I start Word:
when I click on "View/Taskpane" a column opens on the right that shows the
previously opened documents, new documents, etc.

This used to appear automatically when I opened Word, but now I need to
specifically open it after starting Word. Where do I tell Word to have that
Task Pane appear automatically when I start it?

Help does not tell me how to do that. It only discusses the "Styles and
formatting taskpane" which I do not think is this. Under Tools\Options, I
already have under the view tab the "Startup Task Pane" selected but it must
not refer to this document taskpane because it still does not appear on
startup.

Thanks.

Thank you. That must be it.

How do I find out what add-ins I may have added and remove the offending one
if I do not use it? I probably only have one add-in.

Once uncheck and recheck the "Startup Task Pane" option. See if this help
else u can use CTRL+F1 as a shortcut key.

Let us know!
 
Note that the Task Pane Controller (recommended in my previous post) would
allow you to have the task pane displayed or not, as you choose, even with
add-ins.
