SYMPTOMS
After you successfully install Microsoft Office versions 7.0 or 97, the Office Shortcut Bar is not started automatically when Setup is complete.



CAUSE
The setup program for Microsoft Office places a shortcut for the Office Shortcut Bar in the following folder:

  C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

The items in this folder are started only when you start or restart Windows. Therefore, the Office Shortcut Bar is not started until you restart Windows.



WORKAROUND
If you have successfully completed installation and you want to start the Office Shortcut Bar, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Use the Programs group on the Start menu:  Click the Start button on the Taskbar. Point to Programs, then point to StartUp, and click Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar.

Method 2: Use the Run command on the Start menu:  Click the Start button on the Taskbar. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Run box, type the full path to Microsoft Office, version 7.0. For example, type:

C:\MSOffice\Office\MSOffice

If you have installed Microsoft Office 97 on your computer, type:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Office\Msoffice

</li></ol>

STATUS
This behavior of the Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar is by design.
