Menu & toolbar

[carvergirl]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Two things.
(1) My toolbars will disappear on me. When we first installed MS Office 2008, they were there. Then they disappeared. Every time I try to replace them or customize them, they disappear again. Very annoying -- I finally gave up and just used the toolbox, which I don't find nearly as quick/user friendly.

(2) The last time I went in and tried to once again get my toolbar back/customize which buttons I wanted up there, I accidentally removed the menu items along the top of Word (File, View, Edit, etc.) -- and I cannot get them back. This one is most urgent, as I cannot do anything with a document unless I know the Quick Keys. How do I replace them?

Thanks,
JO

First, click the little capsule at the right end of a document's Title Bar
to expand the toolbar area. It's an item that Apple seems to like but
doesn't deem worthy of any sort of label, tip box or documentation.

That will allow you to resolve issue #2...

Control/Right-Click one of the toolbars you can now see, select the
Customize... comand & on teh Toolbars page click the name of the Menu Bar
then click the Reset button. Your Menus should be restored once you OK out
of the Customize dialog.

PS - Got a good chuckle out of your comment on issue #1.
