Hi Linda,
See the article "My menus and toolbars are missing and won't come back
Or: Some of the options on Word's built-in dialogs are permanently
greyed out, when they shouldn't be;
Or: Word doesn't retain my settings (or my recently-used files list)
when I quit and go back in.
Or: Some of the tabs in Tools | Options look wonky (they're either blank
or the text is shifted down and to the right)
Or: Word opens very slowly." at:

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.
Hope this helps
