Anyone know if it possible to turn off or hide the Task Pane (Menu | View | Task Pane). There seems be a bug: When using a CustomPropertyManager to modify custom properties when the Task Pane is enabled and the Custom Properties Tab is functional, the Set method works (returns 0) but the properties are not actually updated. Turn off the Task Pane all the problems go away.  I also tried then CustomInfo2 method and had the same results.  I want my macro to turn off the Task Pane before it runs and then turn it back on (if it was on) when it completes.

I thought about chaning the "file location" path (or moving the files) that the Custom Properties Tab uses. If it can't find the template files, I figured it might not intefere but I have not had a chance to try this yet.
