John,

Here is the best trobleshooting tips for Word I have ever seen.

I know Phil from several places and he knows his stuff.

I would suspect that there is a problem with the Normal.DOT file because you shouldn't be able to turn off the menu bar, except through code.

Having jsut said that go into the VBE (ALT+F11), in the immediate window type:

CommandBars("Menu Bar").Enabled = True

and see if that brings it back.

If not, read and follow the steps listed in the post above.

I apologize for this OT, but I just know somebody here will have the
answer. And, I cannot find it on the MS Knowledgebase.

We have a user in our Probation department that has completely lost her
menu bar in MS Word. I cannot recreate the problem, and I have never
seen it before. This is the "main menu" bar...the one with "File",
"Edit", etc.

At first I thought she accidentally moved it by dragging it from its
usual location, and that it was just "nearly hidden" elsewhere on her
screen, but we have verified that it is gone.

I am not a technician anymore, but because I was my boss came to me...I
was the go-to person for Office...and I told him I would look into it.

Thanks for any help that you are able to give!

John W Clark

BTW...it is Office 97
