If it's not there at all, then that is definitely a different issue, and I
would not be all surprised to learn that the work version is Word 2002.

Hello Suzanne:
I will be checking the version of Word that is on the computer that I use
at
the office. I could have sworn that it was 2003, but I've been incorrect
before. Additionally, the arrow beside the *open* button on the computer
at
the office is not dimmed - it is non-existent.
Please keep me posted on anything further you might discover in this
regard
and I will be sure to respond concerning the version of Word resident on
the
office computer.
As always, thanks so very much for all that you do.

Since I believe Open and Repair was introduced in Word 2003 and since
Word
2002 and Word 2003 look so very similar, it would be easy to think that
might be the reason. But I think you said that Open and Repair was there
but
dimmed, so that wouldn't actually be a viable explanation, I guess.

You know what, Suzanne? I hadn't even considered investigating the
version
at the office. However, based upon your suggestion, I will do that
first
thing Monday morning.
As always, thanks so very much.

Hello Stefan.
Yes, I have restarted Windows many times since discovering that I
have
have
no down arrow next to the *open* button and that doesn't seem to
be
the
issue.
What further confounds me is that I have Word 2003 additionally
running on
my at-home computer and the *open* button there does have the down
arrow,
Leading to the applicable *open and repair* feature.
I was thinking that it must be a set-up matter since the arrow
remains
non-existent on the computer that I use at the office.
Nonetheless, thanks so much for your reply. Perhaps someone else
within
the
"forum" has experienced a similar situation and can shed some
light in
this
regard.

Word 2003
I apparently have a document that has a corrupted table within
and
I
receive
a prompt suggesting that I use the *open and repair* option.
However,
in
following the instructions presented, I find that I have no
*down
arrow*
beside the *open* box within the open file dialog menu.
Is there something within Word or its options that I need to
either
change
or set-up in order to have the down arrow and the applicable
features
attached to the *open* button?
Thanks in advance - Rod
