On the Options tab of Tools | Customize, make sure that "Always show full
menus" is checked. If it is, and that item is still not on the menu, then it
must have been introduced in Word 2003 (though that seems odd, since the
task panes were added in Word 2002).

Hi Graham I followed your plan B [View on the tool bar, got the

In that case the feature must have been introduced with Word 2003. I
don't
have Word XP to check

and this is the reason for the missing function, how do I revert back to
the default settings please so it appears in the view drop down menu? S Fox
