The article 'Use Word 2010's new Navigation pane to efficiently browse and organize documents' shows you how to use Word's Navigation pane to browse and organize documents.It's a helpful feature. Minimize or expand the Navigation Pane. Open the Folder List pane in the minimized Navigation Pane. Turn on or off the Navigation Pane. For Outlook 2010, On the View menu, in the Layout group, click Navigation Pane. For Outlook 2007,On the View menu, point to Navigation Pane, and then click Normal or Minimized.
I use Word 2010 with the Navigation Pane on the left side of the screen and the Styles Pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) on the right side of the screen. Whenever I open Word, I have to set this up manually. How can I make Word use my prefered pane layout when it starts?

If you name macros AutoNew and AutoOpen it will fire everytime you open a new or existing document.
Dialongs(wdDialogBoxName).Show
.edit
Esxi 6.5 realtek drivers install. I found that little turd. It's a Task Pane.
Application.TaskPanes(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible = True
Put that into two macros and it should fire when you open a doc.

For future reference, seeing as this question comes up a lot (Mail Merge Pane is a popular request), you can hunt down the name of the object through the Keyboard Customizer and it will list them by object name. Then you just Search for it in the Macro Editor's Object Browser. Top 50 movies of 2017.
