Insert > Footnote.... GONE!

[Mike McCurdy]

Can anyone figure why the FOOTNOTE option has disappeared from my INSERT
menu?

I was writing and entering footnotes as usual, then at some point the
footnote option disappeared. Very strange.

Any ideas on how to get it back?

I have Word X:2001. I have a Powerbook G4.

Thanks.

Mike

What is Word X:2001? Word X runs on OS X, Word 2001 runs on OS 9/Classic.

Anyhow, to fix:

(this might be Word 2004 only, but I forget) Make sure you didn't
accidentally turn on "Word 5.1 Menus". Look under View to see if there's a
check next to that option. If that isn't the problem:

If you go to Tools | Customize Toolbars/Menus, select the Menu Bar, and
click Reset, it should set all your main menus and built-in toolbars back to
the default.

If you have customized your menus or toolbars, you may want to explore the
Tools | Customize, Commands dialog, and drag the commands you are missing
back to the toolbars/menus yourself, rather than wipe out your
customizations by clicking Reset.

By the way, if you are creating a lot of footnotes, you might want to create
a keyboard shortcut for the InsertFootnoteNow command, and avoid the menu
clicking/dialog all together. Use Tools | Customize to do so.
