How can I recreate the tooolbar from XP professional in Office 20.

I used the office toolbar as a useful short cut to open programmes with
Office XP Professional. I now have loaded Office Professional 2007 and I
can't "raise" a toolbar. I now have to close the document that I am working
with to expose the icon that I want to open. Help would be appreciated

Why do you have to close it? Just minimise it.

There is now the Quick Launch toolbar in Windows that replaces that
toolbar. See Windows Help (press F1 at the desktop) and look up Quick
Launch for information.

Perhaps a Windows toolbar will fit your needs. Take a look at this article
