Can I control whether the Templafy task pane automatically opens?

The Templafy task pane auto opens in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. The task pane does not auto open in Excel by default. It is possible for individual users to enable or disable the feature within respective Office applications.

The steps to enable/ disable are:

1. Select the settings button in the Templafy task pane.

2. Tick/ Untick the check box controlling the automatic opening of the Templafy task pane.

Irrespective of whether the option is enabled, the Templafy task pane will not automatically open

• When saved documents are opened
• When switches are used to prevent blank documents from opening e.g. 

  “…\winword.exe" /n 

  "…\excel.exe" /e 

Note: At present, there is no way to disable the "Open task pane automatically" option globally and without individual user action. When users do disable the option, they will no longer see the task pane open automatically in the particular application they are using.
