In Word '97, the Menu Bar across the top has disappeared

[kenyonalan]

One of us did something that caused the Menu Bar (File Tools Etc.) across the
whole top of the page/screen to disappear. Now, there's just a very
abbreviated/short Menu bar with only four choices--beginning with Tools and
ending with Help) visible. We don't know what we did, and can't "find" the
whole menu bar. Help would be greatly appreciated.

This is more common in Word 2000, but it's caused by a glitch in the
Registry; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm
