Hey Doug,
I had a reason for asking that question. I was playing with the missing
toolbars problem in Word 2000 and I found a work around.
Here it is:
Open Microsoft Word 2000
Press "F1" on your keyboard to launch help

Note: If the Office Assistant pops up, type in "Reset a built-in menu",
click the Reset built-in Menus & Toolbars" > click link, "Reset a built-in
menu" > click link "Show me", the "Customize" dialogue should appear, you
will be able to restore "Menu Bar". Standard" & "Formatting" toolbars from
the "Toolbars" (tab).
OR

From the Microsoft Word 2000 Help pane:

>In the "Answer Wizard" type, "Reset a built-in menu"
>Click the link "show me", the "Customize" dialogue should appear, you will
>be able to restore "Menu Bar", >Standard" & Formatting" toolbars from the
>"Toolbars" (tab).

So, I new about the link on mvp.org/word, its just that I found out about a
workaround in Word 2000 I thought would be helpful.

Thank You
Andre Da Costa

The difficulty, Andre, is that the "workaround" you quote doesn't work when
the problem is a damaged Registry key. If it did, most users would not be
posting here.

Additionally Andre, when this problem cropped up a few years ago I was
able to obtain a damaged Registry key so I could duplicate the
behavior and tried something similar:
Dialogs(wdDialogToolsCustomize).Show in the Immediate window.

There weren't any toolbars listed in the dialog box. Actually IIRC
there may have been a couple but they weren't the Standard,
Formatting, or Menu Bar.

It would make a lot more sense if you had posted this as a continuation of
the original thread. In that case, rather than giving someone an answer
that has widely been posted in this news group and which would solve their
problem, you asked them a question. In my view, that is not being very
helpful.

Hope this helps
