When you go into word 'open' you see on the left hand side what I
think they call the 'page bar' I read somewhere, but cant find it now,
that using regedit or some other registry editor, you can add and
delete pages up to five and sometimes to 10 if you make the font
small. Can you explain to me how to do it please? |

Sorry it is not the pages bar - it is the places bar.

I found the pages.exe download from microsoft, but when I went to
execute it in the run bar 'Regsvr32 <path>\Places.dll' it came up with
an error message. Load library"<path>\places.dll" failed. GetLastError
returns 0x00000485

I did what you said and everything worked out okay, except when I went
to tools - there was no add to my places, only add to my favourites?

That is quite tough in regedit - I have had a go but got cold feet at
the end. Perhaps if I print it out and try it at work tomorrow it will
work??
BTW what does com file stand for - combined object model and is it com
not exe because it is less than 64kb

I did all that in regedit, but it has made no difference at all??? Do
you think I should give up??

I wouldn't give up. Maybe another researcher will be able to help you.
Best of luck,
