Microsoft Word 2002: "Footnote" has disappeared from the Insert me

[Birgitte]

In the middle of writing a long document with footnotes in Word 2002 (on an
iMac Power PC G5 computer), the word "footnote" has disappeared from the
Insert menu (I used it many times earlier in this document). How can I insert
a footnote? And how can I get "footnote" back into the Insert menu?

The command to look for is named "InsertFootnote".

Footnote does not appear on the Insert menu in Word 2002 or 2003. Instead
it's Insert | Reference | Footnote. If Reference is missing, see

Hi Birgitte,

I don't think you are really using Word 2002, which is a Windows
version. Not on a PowerPC G5. I think you are using a Mac version of
Word, and got the version number wrong (If you are using Word 2002 in
Virtual PC, sorry--and you can ignore the rest of this message).

So, first, 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, and
uncheck if so. 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.

In the future, post problems with Mac versions to the Mac groups:
