Update:

I tried one more recommended fix of creating a new Normal.dot by renaming
it.  That apparently recreated it from scratch and all the menu and toolbars
are back to default, which is fine.  I can switch between views now, too.

Now I will go back and reinstall and update Adobe and see what happens.  I'm
pretty sure I know what caused all this.  When I first upgraded to 2003, all
was fine.  Not long after, I installed Adobe 7.0 Standard and tested it all
out and it worked fine.  But when I tried to create a pdf document from 97
Word documents, it tried for a while, then started giving me error message:

"Word cannot save this file because it is already open elsewhere.
(C:/Documents and Settings/.../Normal.dot."  I had to OK that message many
times, and at the end, the pdf was not made.  I got around that by creating
pdfs in batches, then combining them from the pdfs to get the one document I
wanted.

But it was after that when the screwy things in Word started happening.

Anyway, just wanted to update in case anyone else faces this mess sometime.

Thanks all,
Malia
