RE: I've lost the FILE command in WORD on my menu

Nancy ~

I was in the discussion board looking for the same answer to my problem.
However, I went back into word and played around some more in the customize
window. (View, Toolbars, Customize). Here is my response to a participant
that asked me how to put "file" back on his menu bar. Hope this will solve
your problem.
Hello~

I have found the solution. I can't believe I overlooked it while we were
looking. In the customize menu (the directions you wrote down) is the
solution. On the commands tab in your customize window, on the left hand
side column (categories) - near the bottom - I have the Catergory
"Built-in-Menus". If you click on that category, in the commands column
(right column), you have file, edit, view... (yeah)~

Next, you click on the command "File" and drag it up to your menu toolbar.
While dragging you should see a box attached to your cursor. Subsequently,
you will see a black line on your menu bar appear where it will be placed
when you un-click your mouse. Then, you follow the same instructions with
your "Edit" command.

Now, I was using Office 2003 during the presentation today and I also run
Office 2003 at my home. I am assuming your are also using the same. If not,
these instructions not fix the problem.

I hope these instructions make sense to you. If they don't, I will be more
than happy to send picture instructions.
