It is not necessary to float the menu bar to reset it. Many users have
reported losing commands from their menu bar. Try these fixes (in order):
1. Open Tools | Customize. On the Toolbars tab, select Menu Bar and press
Reset.
2. If that doesn't work, switch to the Commands tab and select Built-in
Menus in the Categories list. In the Commands list, select the appropriate
menu and drag it to the menu bar.
3. If that doesn't work (or the problem recurs on restarting Word), see
