Yeyefrank,
Open Add or Remove Programs...
Start | run | Type: appwiz.cpl | Click OK |
Scroll down to and click Microsoft Word | Click on the Change button |
When the Setup Wizard opens, click on Repair Word | Click the Next button |
Follow the instructions
Or try starting Word with the /a switch.
Start | Run | Type: winword /a | Click OK
What Is the /a Switch?
[[The /a switch is a troubleshooting tool that you can use to determine
where a problem may exist when you are working with Microsoft Word. When you
use the /a switch to start Word, the switch prevents add-ins and global
templates from being loaded automatically. The /a switch also locks the
setting files; that is, the setting files cannot be read or modified when
you use this switch.
NOTE: Microsoft does not recommend that you use the /a switch as a typical
operating startup switch. This switch prevents your preferred settings in
Word from being retained. Use the /a switch only when a Microsoft Support
Professional requests that you do so, or when you must troubleshoot Word to
determine where a problem may exist. ]]
Then if your toolbars and menubars, etc appear, then...

Thanks Wesley for the response. This is my second reply to yours. The
first one does not seem to have gone out. Perhaps my internet is a bit
slow.
As for your first suggestion of using the Toolbars, there is no toolbar at
all on my Word window screen. All I have is a line of small squares at
the left lower corner showing buttons for normal view, web layout view,
print layout view and outline view. Beneath that is a space showing
"Page1 Sec1 1/1" etc and "English (U.S.)". So I can't get to "Customize".
Regarding the suggestion of using Help, there is no response to my
clicking Alt+H. I have tried also Ctrl+H but only the screen for "Find
and Replace" appears. I have also tried to right click on this screen
but there is no response.
Basically my problem is the missing of the Top Menu Bar that is usually
found with all Word pages. Incidentally this Top Menu Bar appears in all
the other Office programs such as Excel and Outlook Express.
This community is great. It makes one feel that you are not all alone in
this crazy of computers.

Try this.
Open Word | Right click any Toolbar that you can see |
Click Customize down at the bottom of the menu that pops up |
On the Toolbar tab, under Toolbars: |
Place a Check Mark in Menu Bar
Toolbars:
Lists the available toolbars. To display a toolbar, select the check box
next to the name. To hide a toolbar, clear the check box.
Or you can click the Reset button.
Reset button
Removes any changes you made to the selected toolbar and restores the
original settings.
If none of the above works, try Detect and Repair from Help.
I just realized that Help is on the Menu Bar.
Use Alt + H to open the Help menu.

I don't know what I have done with my mouse but the Menu Bar which shows
"File Edit View Insert Format Tools Tables Window Help" has disappeared
form my window for the Word page.
I still can use the keyboard to print but the functions availabe are
extremely limited. I cannot find the place to open up an old file for
instance.
I might have turn the "Look" or "View" of the page to some form of
format. But I just don't know how to get back to the normal Look or
View.
Grateful if someone could help me.
