TASK PANE

[Guest]

I use Word 2003 and have turned off the Task Pane box several times. It
keeps reappearing when I open Word or Excel. This KB item is supposed to help:

1. Quit Word 2003. If you use Word as your e-mail editor, also quit
Microsoft Outlook.
2. Click Start, and then click Run.
3. In the Run box, type REGEDIT, and then click OK.
4. Locate the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\General
5. Right-click the DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane key, and then click Delete.
6. Click OK to confirm that you want to delete the
DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane key.

Problem is that I do not have the "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane key" as
mentioned in number 5. Any suggestions?

Probably best to post this question in an Office or Word newsgroup
instead of here. Or you can possibly find the answer on Word MS MVP
