I am using MS Word on a 3 year old Windows ME machine. The
main menu (and all menus, toolbars, buttons, etc) have
disappeared (or my kids did something). When I open Word
all I can do is resize the window and use the scroll bars.
The Help says you can't hide the main menu but mine is
gone. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for your reply.

Like the hundreds of others who have written in with this same problem, you
have a minor registry corruption. See

One post is enough. See responses to your other posts. And I'll let you
figure out which one actually has an answer.
