One of my MAIN menu's is missing an item -- namely "FILE"
I'm having trouble with my MS-Word (Part of my MS-Office) ...
You know the top-most menu bar, the one that is standard in most Windows programs, the one that reads: "File Edit View Insert Format Tools Table Windows Help"? Well mine suddenly reads: "Edit View Insert Format Tools Table Windows Help" One day it was there, the next it was gone. Now "it's a given" that I COULD add each of the FILE menu commands to one of the toolbars via "Customize", but I shouldn't have to. I paid for the "File" menu, and it ought to be there waiting on me every time. I've run the "Detect & Repair" under "Help" TWICE ... the first time it found errors I didn't know I had and claimed to have fixed them ... restarted Word ... still no "FILE" menu ... ran "D&R" again, no change. I'm at my whit's end. I did NOTHING to "Provoke" this "Rebellion" on Word's part. For the benefit of the Tech-Weanies (or Tech-Weenies) in the crowd I'm running Windows XP with SP2 and all the latest updates and upgrades. Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 on a Sony PCV-rx560(UC) (an x86-based PC) SMBIOS Version 2.3 Total Physical Memory: 256 Mb (I know I need more -- Send me a good email for my boss to read telling him to add the other 256Mb PRONTO! Available Physical Memory (at the moment) 18.08 Mb Total Virtual Memory 2.00 Gb Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB Page File Space 656.75 I'm running Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.8026.8036) SP2 (Part of the Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003 for Students and Teachers) Product ID: 70141-053-8767232-56559 -- with the following updates/upgrades: Office 2003 Service Pack 1 (English version) Office 2003 Service Pack 2 (English version) Security Update for Word 2003 (KB917334) Security Update for Office 2003 (KB917151) Security Update for Office 2003 (KB914455) (English version) Update for Office 2003 (KB907417) Security Update for Excel 2003 (KB918419) Security Update for Office 2003 (KB921566) Security Update for Outlook 2003 (KB892843) (English version) Update for Outlook 2003: Junk E-mail Filter (KB870765) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB873362) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB890854) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB891067) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB892236) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB894384) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB896999) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB895658) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB902953) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB904631) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB906173) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB907492) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB905648) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB911961) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB913161) Update for Outlook 2003 (KB913807) (English version) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB914454) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB916521) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB917149) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB919031) Update for Outlook 2003 Junk Email Filter (KB920907) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- George Loud |

Right-click the File menu and select Reset. Actually, you don't Right-click the File menu, your go to "Tool Bars" tab and Right-Click the "Menu Bar" in the list of "Tool Bars", then select "Reset" and it worked like a champ ... now, what caused it to go away in the first place ... was it "Operator Error" and how do I prevent it from happening again?

Actually, you don't Right-click the File menu, your go to "Tool Bars" tab and Right-Click the "Menu Bar" in the list of "Tool Bars", then select "Reset" and it worked like a champ Yes, you can do it that way, too. While you're in customize mode you can right-click any menu or toolbar and get a context menu that includes 'Reset'. .... now, what caused it to go away in the first place ... was it "Operator Error" and how do I prevent it from happening again? Operator error is most common: 1) You're in customize mode and drag the item from the menu, or 2) Press ctl-alt-hyphen: the cursor becomes a large minus sign. Now click any menu option to remove it. Either of these can happen accidentally, particularly if you're an energetic or inebriate user. |

Jezebel, thanks for your suggestion on this. Similar to the original request
for help, my Outlook bar lost the 'reply, reply all, forward, etc' items all the way to the font selection. The right click plus 'standard' restored everything as I have been accustomed to it being displayed. Closed window, reopened and it was correct. Great tip. Thanks again. alxzba "Jezebel" wrote: Actually, you don't Right-click the File menu, your go to "Tool Bars" tab and Right-Click the "Menu Bar" in the list of "Tool Bars", then select "Reset" and it worked like a champ Yes, you can do it that way, too.
