Word File Menu
Hi,
I cannot access anything on my file menu when Word is open but I do not have a document open. When I scroll over the options, they are highlighted, but nothng happens when I click on them. This includes the "open" command, and any of the buttons for the files I recently modified. I am using Word 2003. Thanks in advance. |

When you open a document by double-clicking on it, can you edit it?

Yes, I can edit files when I open them by double clicking them.

Try resetting your menus, Dewey.

Hi Anne,
That does not work. I can use the file menu when I have a document open, but not when there is no document open. So I cannot open a document or create a new one unless I use the toolbars. The toolbars actually work, it is just the file menu that seems to be defunct.

What happens if you press Ctrl-O instead of attempting through the menu?
