Hi folks!

I have MS '02 installed on my laptop. When you go into any of the
applications (Word, Excel, Front Page, Access, etc) you should typically see
at the very top of the menu bar:

FILE EDIT VIEW INSERT FORMAT TOOLS etc, etc, etc.

However - - - the FILE command is NOT showing up when I open up Word. It
does appear for all of the other appications. Any thoughts?!?!!

The first command in Word is EDIT, followed by VIEW, INSERT, etc, etc, etc.

The only option I have at this point is "customizing" the menu bar by
dragging each of the submenu items for FILE onto the bar - which I don't
really like. I have reinstalled MS Office 2002, but still same results.

Thanks!

First try Method 2 of
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oreMenuCmd.htm. If that
doesn't work, try Method 3. If still no joy, try
