Hi,

My 80 year old mother lives 330 miles away, she is pretty smart but
when stuff goes wrong with the computer it is a major hassle.

This time the File and Edit menus have disappeared in Word. How can
that happen? I didn't believe her when she told me but now she has
sent me a screen shot and sure enough there is a little vertical line
where the menus should be.

I've placed the screen shot here so you can see yourself.

Any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

Regards
Jackie
