Save disappeared from menu snowbound 22.08.2006 16:02:02 This issue is with Word 2003 (11.8026.8036) SP2, part of Office Basic Edition 2003, running on Windows XP Professional SP2 Build 2600. While editing a document I've created a habit of hitting Alt+f,s to save the file often. Last night, while editing a 30+ page document with many changes and change tracking on, this stopped working. I tried saving via pulling down the File Menu and selecting Save, but Save wasn't there. I closed everything down and shut down last night. This morning, I started up the computer, opened that file, and looked for File Save, but it still wasn't there. I then tried opening a new file and saving it, and the menu option wasn't there, even after I used Save As to give the file a name. I did discover that Ctrl+S and File Save As... appear to work, and so does the prompt to save on exit. I just don't understand how I lost the menu item and keyboard shortcut. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Save disappeared from menu snowbound 22.08.2006 17:16:02 Thank you... I now know what happened: I was attempting to find the shortcut for subscript by trial and error, and probably triggered the 'remove shortcut from menu' functionality. Given how often I would use Alt+f,s, I probably removed that shortcut. Method 2 in your RestoreMenuCmd.htm document worked perfectly. I'll be more careful of that in the future. Thanks again!
