The fix for this (and then maybe someone can explain what happened).

In order to fix the problem you need to go Tools/Customize, select the Menu
Bar (in the Toolbar Tab) and then click Reset. Say OK to the message that
you will get. This will reset the toolbar to Words Native functionality.
Close Word and Reopen it and it will then add all other customization back
to word.

I think you have slightly misunderstood. I'll explain. In Word, there is a
built in command InsertFile. If a user wants to modify the action of a
built
in command, you write a macro and give it the same name as an internal
command - in this case, InsertFile.

When this is done, the custom macro command will be found listed under
Tools, Macros. If it isn't listed, then the command hasn't been modified.
To
see the list of Word's actual Commands, Go to Tools, Macros and in the
Macros In... box, choose Word Commands. You will find InsertFile listed
there.

As there is no custom InsertFile, Suzanne's alternative solution is most
likely. Are you using Norton Anti Virus?
