Word2000 menus

[Moosedoggie]

I can open Word but can't use any of the drop-down menus (except for
Fonts). Click on them but nothing happens. I think I may need to
reinstall but would prefer to uninstall be4 doing so. Can someone tell
me how to uninstall Office, which it's part of?

The usual FastFix for the loss of the Word MenusŠ

Close all open applications. Open these folders: Hard Disc>System
Folder>Preferences Folder>Microsoft Folder. Select Word Settings (9) file
and trash it. Then shut down the computer. When you restart, the Microsoft
Application will create a new Word Settings file and your menus will be
restored to their original default settings. This means that any special
preferences that you had created that differed from the default will have to
be re-selected by you, so it would help if you either wrote down your
particular special preferences settings or memorized them. This procedure
may have to be applied once or twice a year as the Word menus have a bug
that makes them either disappear sometimes or they just go crazy.

If this FastFix does not work, then go to

Also, see http://word.mvps.org generally for other information concerning
Microsoft Word fixes.

On the off chance you really are using Word 2000 (which is Windows) and are
therefore in the wrong newsgroup (this one is Mac-specific), see these two
