Missing Menu Items

Excel X for Office

I customized a tool bar last night and when I started Excel this
morning the basic drop down menu no longer has the File or Edit
columns; the first label is now View, Insert, etc.

I tried restarting Excel with same result.
I logged on in a manager acct. and the Menu is normal, so I logged
back in to my acct. and tried dumping the User/Library/ pref. file,
but that didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Go into Tools> Customize> Customize Menus/Toolbars. On the Toolbars page
click the name of the Menu Bar, then click Reset. If that doesn't do it you
can go to the Commands page of the same dialog & drag new copies of the
menus back to where they should go from the Built-In Menus category.

Post back indicating specific version info if you still have a problem.

Thank you for the speedy and helpful response.
The answer wasn't exactly intuitive, but I'm sure Microsoft has
corrected that in latter editions

Unfortunately it's one of those freaky things that can't be reproduced - at
least not with any degree of regularity. If you can't repro the problem it's
almost impossible to determine the cause... and if you can't identify the
cause you can't formulate a cure.

Glad you were able to resolve it.
