When I open Word 2002 from the Start button the file menu is missing. In the usual upper left hand site for "File" is "Save As". How do I get Word to return to its original default opening with the "File" menu available once more?

Many users have reported losing commands from their menu bar. Try these fixes (in order): 1. Open Tools | Customize. On the Toolbars tab, select Menu Bar and press Reset. 2. If that doesn't work, switch to the Commands tab and select Built-in Menus in the Categories list. In the Commands list, select the appropriate menu and drag it to the menu bar. 3. If that doesn't work (or the problem recurs on restarting Word), see http://www.**--****.com/ -- Suzanne S.

1.Custom Menus and Menu Items Disappear in Word 2002/XP
Hi everyone-- My organization has created templates with custom menus and custom menu items. For example, we have a menu that says Styles. We also have a custom menu item we added to Word's standard Tool menu. The problem is that these disappear when used in Word 2002, even if we re-create the template completely in Word 2002. The problem doesn't seem to happen with customizations to Normal.dot--only other templates have this problem. As a workaround, I created a custom *toolbar* but this workaround doesn't work for custom menu items added to standard Word menus, as in the example I gave above. Does anyone have any thoughts re this issue? Thanks!
2.MRU file list disappears after shutting exiting Word (2002)
Using Word 2002 on Windows XP (Pro). Every time I open Word, I go to my Tools, Options, General and check the option to display the most recently used file list, and put a number in there (default is 4). The MRU file list works as long as I don't shut down Word. Upon exiting Word and restarting it is reset back to MRU "off" under Tools, Options. We have searched the registry for some "culprit" or reason for this to be resetting back to off every time but so far come up with nothing. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks in advance!
Hello! I somehow managed to remove word from my computer when I was in the "add/remove" panel. I contacted Gateway and together we installed, and reinstalled Word. We turned the computer off, we restarted the computer, we worked in safe mode. Nothing. On the "add/remove" panel Word 2002 shows that it is there and installed BUT I cannot find it, or open it up. I can access all my documents but I can only open them in Word Pad or something like that. No Word. I contacted Microsoft which was a nightmare...a miserable experience and made wish I never had a computer to begin with but I digress... Can anyone out there help me? I have a Gateway Lap top purchased 2003 (and most everything on the computer has never worked right except for Word), and I am running XP Home... Thanks. -- Dog Trainer
4.Inserted pictures disappear in Word 2002 using XP
I'm using Word 2002 on XP. When I insert pictures they briefly show up, then disappear. They're still there, I just can't see them. Every now and then they come back for a second or so, then go away. Usually this is triggered by a move of the mouse. The picture box is still there and if I print the page it's there. Any suggestions?
5.Highlights disappear after saving document in Word 2002
I am having a problem where I am editing RTF documents that were created by someone else. For awhile I could highlight text, save the document and the text would comeback highlighted when I opened the document again. Now, in the same documents that still show some of the old highlighting, when I try and highlight anything, the highlighting disappears when I save and reopen. Running Word 2002 SP3. Any ideas? Thanks.
