Hello,

You have all helped me many times in the past, I have a new problem I hope
you can help with.

I have no Tools menu in Word 2003! It's just missing. At first I thought
it was a change with version 2003, but I almost pulled all my hair out when
trying to find the Envelope and Label Wizard just to have Help tell me to
find it in the Tools menu.

I've tried right clicking and customizing the toolbars but there are no ways
of actually removing or reeplacing any buttons as far as I can tell.

What I have right now is:

File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Window, Help, Acrobat Comments, Acrobat
Comments.

Obviously, it looks like Acrobat has done something with my tools menu but I
would like to get it back without removing Acrobat if possible. And I also
recognize that there are two Acrobat Comments menus, but they each have
different options in them. So I blame that on Adobe.

Can anyone offer a suggestion on getting my Tools button back? Please?

Thanks

Ok. I was able to fix it on my own.

I deleted both Normal.dot files in my Documents and settings folder. Word
recreated it and all my menus are back.

Hope this helps someone else.
