Lost right-click menu in Word
I'm using Word 2003. When i right click a word that is mis-spelled (has the
red highlight underneath) i used to get several suggestions and other options. Now i only get the option of my Email Signature? In fact if i right click the mouse anywhere in any document, i now only get this single option. I'm sure before this started to happen i was presented with formatting options etc on the right-click of a mouse. can anyone suggest anything please? i've checked all the correct options in the spellings tab under ToolsOptions. Thx |

Hi ?B?QnJpdCBpbiB0aGUgVVNB?=,

Now i only get the option of my Email Signature? In fact if i right click the mouse anywhere in any document, i now only get this single option. I'm sure before this started to happen i was presented with formatting options etc on the right-click of a mouse. can anyone suggest anything please? i've checked all the correct options in the spellings tab under ToolsOptions. You may have a macro tool or Add-in tool that's reset the popup menus. If you hold down Ctrl when starting Word, to go into Safe Mode, do the "real" popup menus appear during that session?

Lost right-click menu in Word
Thnx for the reply, unfortunately it did not help..(but i learnt how to open
word in Safe Mode!)...i have noticed though that this problems only exists in certain paragraphs on my documents..(i looked for page breaks / section breaks etc using the show/hide key but there was nothing unusual between the good paragraphs and the ones that have the problem?!

Hi ?B?QnJpdCBpbiB0aGUgVVNB?=,
i have noticed though that this problems only exists in certain paragraphs on my documents..(i looked for page breaks / section breaks etc using the show/hide key but there was nothing unusual between the good paragraphs and the ones that have the problem?! Very interesting... This may be a clue. OK, if I use Tools/Customize and activate the "Shortcut menus" toolbar, I can see all the context menus that come with Word. I find one that shows E-mail signature and not much else: the entry AutoSignature. Was any kind of "tool" used to create this document, or might have been used to create a document text was copied from? The Letter Wizard comes to mind... If you click in such a paragraph, then look at the Styles list on the Formatting toolbar, what style name do you see?

Cindy,
I followed the info on your reply but it didn't reveal any further clues. the formatting style at the point where the problem begins is simply "12pt, normal" etc. However, i have discovered that the text where the problem begins has been copied from another document with an email signature at the bottom. When i copied this into my document (without the auto signature) the problems began. I can obviously work around this, it has just been frustrating, (i i thought i knew a lot about Word having been using it since back in the beginning days in the early 90's!) and it means any text i type or add into it at this point forward has to be manually spell / grammar checked! My document wasn't created using any tools / wizards etc, i cannot speak of the document where the copied text came from! Anyway, thanks for the help!
