How to recover missing "Standard" and "Menu Bar" commandbars?

S

Serf

On opening a Word document from a government department website, all
commandbars have disappeared from view, and cannot be readily reset.
(Normal.dot has not been modified.) I am running Office 2000 SR1
Professional.

I don't appear to have any built-in menu Commandbars anymore! For example
Application.CommandBars("Menu Bar").BuiltIn gives a runtime error 5 (Invalid
procedure call or argument). Also "Standard" cannot be referenced.

Application.CommandBars.Count returns 70, where I would have expected 107.
??? Also, I am unable to make any of those remaining visible (
Application.CommandBars(1).enabled= true
Application.CommandBars(1).visible= true
returns an automation error)

Any suggestions as to how I can clear this condition? Support for the
website are completely baffled...

Many thanks,

serf
