Send button no longer on Message ribbon after reinstall

I recently had to reinstalling Office 2007 Professional RTM after the
secondary (i.e. non-boot) hard drive suffered partial MFT corruption.  I was
able to uninstall Office 2007 successfully before fixing the drive and
reinstalling the same version of Office from the same source discs.

After reinstalling, I noticed that the Send button no longer appears on the
Message ribbon like it used to.  It used to be located where the Clipboard in
now located on the Message ribbon.  Now it only appears in the message
itself, next to "To", "Cc", and "Bcc".

After searching the discussion groups and the regular Office support site, I
am unable to find a way to get this functionality back... nor am I able to
find an explaination of why it disappeared.  I was able to find some mention
of changes to this functionality around the Beta 2 timeframe, but these
installs were both of the RTM version.

The only difference that I know of between the installs is this:
The first install include Business Contact Manager.  Because I never used
BCM, I decided not to install it when I performed the reinstall.

I would appreciate any help in understanding this issue.
Thanks

Hi
Do you mean the Send/Receive button by any chance ?? If you do then you
might be able to go into the customize toolbar option, choose "Tools" from
the commands menu and then drag "Send/Receive" up to the toolbar if it
appears there...

Hope that helps

Davidt

Thanks for your response.

Unfortunately, that does not solve my problem.  To clarify, the issue is
that the "Send" button no longer appears on the Message ribbon when composing
a message in Office 2007.  Prior to the reinstall, it used to show up in the
Message tab of the ribbon (where the Clipboard group is now) in addition to
showing up in the message itself (near To, Cc, Bcc, and subject).  After the
reinstall, it only shows up in the message itself and no longer shows up in
Message tab of the ribbon.

Hi there
Sounds like an odd one, to be honest then I have only seen the send button
appearing next to the To & CC buttons, I have never seen it up on the ribbon
itself (for me anyway). Hopefully someone else might be able to help you...I
assume that you can still send emails without any problems though ?

Again, thanks for your help.

I'm confident that somebody here will have the answer too.

You are correct, I can still send e-mail as the Send button still shows up
in the message itself... however, I habituated to the Send button on the
Message tab of the ribbon.  My muscle memory keeps taking me there...

As a software developer, I'm also curious about the cause of this change...
same version of Office 2007, same discs, and yet a different result.  That's
part of what made me wonder if not installing Business Contact Manager the
second time is what lead to this difference.

Hi
Certainly sounds plausible that this is what has caused the difference,
guess the only way to tell would be to install it again but add the contact
manager in and see if that makes a difference. I have to admit that I havent
ever installed the contact manager so have never seen that option...might be
worth a try if you get a chance and some time to spare LOL
