menu bar not under title bar
kamorse 12/16/2008 10:16:01 PM
Somehow in Word 2003 my menu bar has been moved from under the title bar to
midway down the page and I can't figure out how to move it back where it
belongs.

Grab it by the title bar and drag it back into place.

It won't 'grab.' It doesn't respond to a double-click or a right-click either.

At the very left edge of the bar there's a dotted vertical -- that's
where you grab it. (IIRC the cursor changes to a +.)

No, no dotted vertical. It's the menu bar. It displays as a hoizontal line
about a third of the way down across the width of the screen -- regardless of
the screen resolution or the size of the application window. I've tried
Tools>Customize>Reset with no results. Wish I could attach a screen shot.

Toolbars show the dotted lines only when they're docked. When they're
floating, they have a title bar instead.

You must click on the title bar (the part that says "Menu Bar") and drag it
back into place. Alternatively, you can double-click on the title bar to
restore it to its (more or less) default location (for me it ends up between
the Standard and Formatting toolbars).

Thanks for all your help!

Very odd, since floating toolbars, including the menu bar, always have a
title bar.

Re: menu bar not under title bar

Hmmm... wonder if the menu bar was docked at the bottom but the window was
half-screen high (i.e. not maximized) maybe? Still should've had a drag
handle. Strange.
