lost menu

E

efico

I have two computers in a school lab that are missing the menus in
PowerPoint 2003. It's as if it is set full screen without tak panes.
I tried reinstalling Microsft Office xp. It did not help. How do I
get the menu back?

Chirag

In PowerPoint, hit Alt+F11 key combination to bring up VBA Editor. Hit
Ctrl+G key combination to get a pane titled "Immediate". Paste the following
single line in that pane:

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Reset

Keep the blinking cursor at the end of the line and hit Enter key to get
back your menu.

The way to do the same through the user interface involves right-click on a
visible toolbar and select "Customize..." menu item. But if no toolbar or
menu is visible, it could be tough to find that right-click area.

Thanks for offering your help. It did not work for me, but directions
from Steve Rindsberg brought the menu back.
