Microsoft Word - Need Help

[Ref]

Microsoft Word 2000

I closed a Word doc earlier on and opened another one and ALL the toolbars had vanished.

I have been fiddling around with it for ages, I've shut it down and loaded it up again, I've tried EVERYTHING but I can't seem to get my toolbars back.

Any suggestions???

[dcnags]

Go to 'View' and then go down to toolbars

[Ref]

that toolbar isn't there either.

i can't click file - view - edit - tables - help etc

any other ideas?

what do i see: Document 1 Microsoft Word on topleft. the blue taskbar across the top. no menus at all not even file - edit etc.

right clicking on top doesn't work

adam can you help?

[SÓC]

Try Alt-V then alt-T and that should get up the toolbar menu

[Ref]

that doesn't work either.

[UCD_4_Life]

Re-install it.

[James]

reinstall word

[pineapple stu]

Press F1 - should bring up the help menu?

[Ref]

I re-installed Word.

Absolutely no difference whatsoever.

Anyone?

throw the computer out the window and go for a pint

[James]

use a pen and notepaper instead of word

[max power]

get someone else to do it while your having your pint

[pete]

Any chance you've dragged the toolbar to the side or the bottom of the screen?

No secretary eh?

[max power]

i still think going for a pint is the best option

Here's a possibility:

Switch to full-screen mode
To display as much of your document as possible on the screen, you can switch to full-screen mode. In this mode, Word removes distracting screen elements, such as toolbars and scroll bars.

On the View menu, click Full Screen.
Notes

If you want to choose menu commands in full-screen mode, rest the pointer at the top of the screen, and the menu bar appears. For example, you might want to set options on the View tab (Tools menu, Options command) to specify which screen elements to display in full-screen mode.


To turn off full-screen mode and switch to the previous view, click Close Full Screen on the Full Screen toolbar, or press ESC.

pint !!!

a friend of mine who knows a fair bit about computers had a look at it and couldn't figure out whats wrong with it.

none of the toolbars are there and they ain't hiding anywhere.

very few shortcuts work either e.g. alt V.

i re-installed it and that made no difference.

it's driving me mad now!

buy a mac

go for a pint you'll feel better

It might be hardware. Stick a nail across the plug fuse and change the first thing that catches fire
