How do I restore my toolbar and menu bar on Windows 98
I dont show any of the toolbarbuttons or menu buttons so instructions saying
'press tools button' are absolutely no good. I guess the 'Normal.do' template has been damaged but I can not find that either - please help!!!!!! |

Hi, Cazz. It's just a minor registry problem. See

I could be off here but it sounds like maybe you accidently flipped into full
screen view. If that's the problem, you should be able to move your mouse up to the top of your screen (top of the document window) and a menu bar should roll down. Click the view button and then Full Screen and your toolbars should come back. I hope that works or that you already got it back.

Many different programs create .iso files. See
http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=ISO and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search for a list. Unfortunately, I don't think Word can open any of them.

ISO files are disc image files. Normally these are intended to be burned to
disc with software such as Nero, though they can be opened (much like ZIP files) using software capable of opening them such as WinRAR or IsoBuster. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Cazz1066 wrote: Hi Garfield, Thanks heaps it worked, by the way do you know how to open a programme file with the extension .iso Cazz "garfield-n-odie" wrote: Hi, Cazz.

It seems you are responding somewhat belatedly as the original thread has
expired from my newsreader, but the usual cause of missing menus is registry corruption and full screen switching will not help - See http://www.gmayor.com/my_toolbars_are_missing.htm or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP Web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site www.mvps.org/word bikerbabe wrote: I could be off here but it sounds like maybe you accidently flipped into full screen view.

I 've got a friend (our scoutmaster!) with a similar problem, on XP. He opens
anything in word, as gets a blank screen for typing, and the scrollbars and those buttons on the left, but the menu and tools at the top are gone. He'd tried uninstalling/reinstalling, it still shows nothing. The punchline is: This is only on his admin account. His wife & kid's various accounts open word normally.
