My menu bar is missing when I open any document.
For some reason when I open any saved document my menu bar is missing. So I
do not have access to the file menu, view menu, tools menu, etc. When I try to create a new document it is there though. I know I can go into customize and reset it to have the menu bar there again. But, that is a hassle to do everytime I open a document. Because when I close it and then reopen a doc it is missing again. Is there anyway to make the menu bar show up all of the time again because it used to work like that but apparently I did something to screw that up? |

My menu bar is missing when I open any document.
Thank you. By going to START then RUN and typing winword.exe /a I can open
the docs with the file menu at the top. But if I just double click on a document out of the "My Documents" folder for instance I still have the file menu missing at the top. Is there anyway to fix this or do I just have to open word through the RUN screen everytime?

Using the /a switch is only a troubleshooting step to determine where
the problem is. Now you have to do the rest of the steps in the same article. Read all the way through the whole thing first, so you know what you need to do.

Ok. I read all the steps and deleted the registry file. After deleting I
reopened word and still hae the same problem. But again when I open / a switch it works fine. I don't get it. Any other ideas? Just to be clear I am using word 2003. I even tried a few days ago to delete office and reinstall it. That didnt work either. "Jay Freedman" wrote: Using the /a switch is only a troubleshooting step to determine where the problem is.

Although the article hasn't been revised since Office XP (2002), I hope you
made the association of Office versions and Data keys, and properly deleted the key for Office 2003 which is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Data If that's what you did, then the only other thing I know of that might be affecting Word -- and this is a long shot -- is a third-party add-in that might be misbehaving. Read http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...sInstalled.htm to find out where to look for them. BHostler wrote: Ok. I read all the steps and deleted the registry file.

My menu bar is missing when I open any document.
I deleted the right registry key and it did not work. I tried deleting the
only add-in that I found and it also did not work. Any other ideas?

Sorry, no, that's the whole bag of tricks. The things that are
suppressed by the /a switch are the Normal.dot template, the add-ins, and the Data key. There is another article, http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...514521033.aspx, that explains more about searching for add-ins, not all of which are necessarily in the Startup folder. You might find one that was overlooked before. On Tue, 30 Oct 2007 06:42:01 -0700, BHostler wrote: I deleted the right registry key and it did not work.
