Main toolbar items disappeared

[HP]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

Other applications have not been effected but somehow only in Word, the File and View drop down toolbars are gone. I tried some of the remedies in this forum. No good. I don't have a right click on my pad. I have been able to add some buttons on the menu in the Word window itself but the top left side of the screen shows only the Apple logo, followed by Edit, Font, Insert, Tools, Table, Window, Word and Help. I'm sure I had File and View before. What did I do to lose them? How can I get them back?

I have just had the same problem and posted a note to that effect before reading your comment. There must be someone out there with the answer. Come on guys help us get our menu bar straightened out!

Many thanks

Hi Phil;

A search on the topic [Menu Bar] would have produced this among a number of
other responses on the subject:

Control/Right-Click a toolbar & select Customize Toolbars & Menus. On the
Toolbars page click the name of the Menu Bar then click Reset. If that
doesn't bring them back reply for other options.

Unfortunately there was a problem with the web forum server over the
weekend, so I'm sure this isn't the only message that wasn't promptly
addressed. Even when things are working as they should, keep in mind that
newsgroups aren't noted for rapid response times - in fact, your other
message still hasn't shown up in my newsreader even though it does appear on
the forum... Go figure
