I have a setup macro that puts the Navigation pane on the left, at a defined width, and the Styles pane on the right, again at a preferred width, and then sets the page size. Under Office 2010, I had this working, but with the forced update (I went to 2016), I'm stuck.

Nav pane up, check. Set width using:

Code:

With Application.CommandBars("Navigation")
        .Visible = True
        .Width = iWidth
     End With

...no problem.

Scale page zoom, no problem.

Open Styles pane with:

Code:

Application.TaskPanes(wdTaskPaneFormatting).Visible = True

...no problem.

But even with several years of VBA hacking and Mansfield's fat book at hand, I can't figure out how to set the width of the Styles pane.

Specific answer appreciated; some hints about how to chase the object list for "task panes" (instead of CommandBars, for example) appreciated...
