I have Powerpoint 2000 installed on my XP machine. When I open Powerpoint,
the File option is not on the menu bar. All the other options, i.e. edit,
view, insert, etc, are on the menu bar. I tried using the Tools>Customize
option without success. I did uninstall/reinstall the program, again w/o
success. I did install Powerpoint from my Office 2000 CD onto another XP
computer, and I was able to see the File option on the menu bar. Thank you
for your help.

"I used tools customise" depends what you mean. Try this

View > toolbars>customise

Commands tab

Scroll down to built in menus

Drag "file" onto the toolbar.

Did that solve your problem?

You don't mention what you did, exactly.

I'd try View, Toolbars, Customize and click Reset.

I did uninstall/reinstall the program, again w/o

Steve I have had the same problem with the Menu Bar being completely gone in
PPT. I have tried the search-PCB files and have not found any. Are there any
other methods of restoreing them. I do know that on the other desktops on my
computer the File Menus are present. They just are not present on my Desktop.

Did you try the suggestion below? Restting the toolbars?
