Solve : Microsoft Outlook Toolbar? |
|
Answer» I recently reinstalled my XP operating SYSTEM and am trying to get things back to the way they were before. Did you re-install Office after your rebuild ? ?Uh, nope, fraid not, patio. And, it's Tools, Options, not Options/ Tools. MCJerome, what version of Office do you have? The Office Shortcut bar was not AVAILABLE with Office 2003, so you must haven earlier version. Some info: OFFXP: What Is the Osa.exe File and What Does It Do?Hey guys. Thanks for the help. Nor sure what to make of the info on the link you gave. Seems like a can of worms, perhaps. Juding from what "About..." selection show me in Word and Outlook, it looks like I have Office 2002. I did reinstall Office after I reinstalled my operating system. I went to Word>Tools>Options but can't seem to find a choice to enable the Office toolbar. Just to clarify, this was a bar that I could hang at the top or side of the screen and it was set to disappear unless I waved my mouse near that edge of the screen. It would load on start up and would be there always, even if no Office programs were open. Quote Not sure what to make of the info on the link you gave. Seems like a can of worms, perhaps."... can of worms", what? That makes no sense to me whatsoever. It's a Microsoft page with info in the Osa.exe File, which is the underlying file that makes the Office Shortcut bar work. Do a search to see whether you can find the Osa.exe File on your computer. Go to Start, Programs, Startup, right click on Microsoft Office and select Properties. In the Target box, do you see something like this: [highlight]"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE" -b -l[/highlight]?LOL. Okay. You're right. That was pretty stupid. I just look at those pages sometimes and I go cross eyed. Anway, I don't have that file in the location you specified. In fact, when I go to Start/Programs/I show all the office programs amon the list, but I don't see just play "Microsoft Office." I did a search for OSA.exe and didn't find it. What I did find was just plain OSA with a multi colored flag icon. It is LOCATED in this folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10 Should I open that? Why don't I see a program file for Microsoft Office? I'm USING Office 2003 on my main computer. MS elminated the Office Shortcut Bar from Office 2003. I also have Office 97 on an older computer running Win 98SE. I don't have access to a computer with Office XP, right now. But, I suggest you open the "OSA with a multi colored flag icon" and see whether it launches the Office Shortcut Bar. In my Win 98SE system running Office 97, I see a multi colored flag icon labeled Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar. It's in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office. If I close the Shortcut Bar and then double click on this icon, the Shortcut Bar is restored. |
