The Menu Bar is not shown on my power point. Some thing that may have happend
is: to the left of the screen under the main power point button--there is a
exit X which will close the file menu (this is next to the question
box)--this X was accidently clicked. Now I can not get the file menu to
appear. I have tried to costumize to restore the problem but can not. Can
anyone help??

Jasman,
I was under the impression that the menu bar could not be removed. But try
this anyway, right click next to a toolbar of your choice. Choose customize,
click on the toolbar tab, see if there is a check next to Menu Bar, if there
is not try to add one.
I do not know if this will work since normally you are unable to uncheck it
anyway. But it's worth a try.

Jasman

Are you saying that the "file" menu has disapeared OR that the whole menu
bar (file - edit -view etc) has gone?

If just the file menu
right click a blank area of the menu bar > customise
Commands tab > scroll down to built in menus
Drag file onto the menu bar

If its the whole menu bar, hard to see how youve lost it but you could try
this vba (top of head so no guarantees)

alt + f11
Insert >module
copy and paste the code below
press f5 /run menus

'code start
Sub menus()
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Position = msoBarTop
End Sub
'code end

John, Thanks for the information. To clarify: the whole menu bar just does
not appear on my power point 2003 opening screen at all. I just tried to copy
a print screen to show you but I am not able to copy it to this message. I
have placed it into a Word file if it would be possible to send it to you
some how---is this possible? After alt+F11 I am shown a Microsoft Visual
Basic - Presentation 1 screen and that screen does have the menu bar. So far
I am able to get to the insert>module and then see a presentation 1- Module 1
(Code) box that appears, but then I am not sure exactly where the code should
be inputed and then what to do after that. Please help.

simply copy the code in my other message and paste it into the module window
then f5. It will only work if you have somehow dragged the menu bar off
screen and to be honest i cant see how you would but worth a go.

Steve, Thanks for the information. After doing the search, I could not find
any files with PCB or the likes of. You might look at the thread that I have
sent John. But I would also appreaciate any further information. Thank James.

Sure ...

It's possible that there's no PCB file but somewhat unlikely. More probably Windows
is hiding it from you. Have a look here .. esp. the part about setting up Windows
to stop HIDING stuff from you. ;-)

Do this before using PowerPoint seriously
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00034.htm

If that doesn't get it, go back into the Visual Basic editor.
Press Ctrl+G to open the Immediate window.
Into it, type:

Application.Commandbars("Menu Bar").Reset

then press Enter.
