Lost Menus Word 2003
Judy 12/8/2008 9:08:12 PM
I am running Microsft Word 2003

All my menus have disappeared. I already looked at:

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm

When I open Word from the Start/run winword.exe /a - everything is OK, but
the fix didn't help opening Word in any other way (menus still missing)

I edited the registry - the only place I find Word/Data is under Office 11 -
(not sure if that is what I am running). Deleting the appropriate keys didn't
fix the problem, and the registry keys didn't come back after I ran Word.

Help!

Did you try deleting or renaming Normal.dot?

It turned out to be silly.

I found the menu bar underneath my drawing bar at the bottom of the document
- I was able to drag it back up to the top. That fixed it for all documents.

Would deleting normal.dot put it back for me? Just curious....Thanks.

No. While menu and toolbar contents (i.e., customizations to the tools and
menu items) are stored (for the most part) in Normal.dot, toolbar positions
are stored in the Data key. For Word 2003, that would be here, in the
registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data
