Guy,

Besides below Office "documentation" thought I take the time to let you know
that I have appreciated some of your latter postings to the List.

>I've looked everywhere for the msoffice.exe file.  Can't find it.

In Win95: Try Start|Search|Folders&Files and fill in the name or
a combination with hits such as "mso" msoff.exe" "msoffpro" "o*.exe"
or other combinations, also using the " * " character for wilcards.

I think running the set-up program, here:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft OfficePro97\Office\Setup\ACME.EXE" /w Off97Pro.STF
should get you to re-install the Taskbar(the above adress adjusted with the on your
system used adress-'protocol').

If the parts are not found on hard-disc, "Set-up" will then ask for you to input your
Office-CdRom, from wich it then will 'automatically' (not always though !) copy and
do the "your program"-Install ("Adding additional Office-programs").

Let me know if you need "more of something" or anything else.

Regards,
Ton Maas
