How do I keep my drop downs to show the entire list?

[Kat]

In Word, when I click on the top menu bar (ie: File, Edit, View) I want to
see all the list without having to click on the bottom arrow. I know there is
a way to do it however I have forgotten.
Does anyone know? Please help.

I'll assume this is Word 2002 or 2003, in which the relevant check box is
Tools | Customize | Options: "Always show full menus." The location is the
same in Word 2000, but the effect of the check box ("Menus show recently
used items first") is the opposite.
