My 3 year old was recently pounding on the keyboard and the menu toolbar,
buttons, etc have disappeared when I open up a new or saved WORD document.
Is there any way to get this back to the way it was? I actually tried to
reinstall WORD.

Don't blame the kid; this happens all the time to sensible adults, too. See

Now, I'm upset. It has never happened to me. Therefore I must not be
sensible.

I didn't say it happened to *all* sensible adults! It's never happened to
me, either, probably because I never had Word 2000, the version that seems
to be most prone to it.

Hi Suzanne,
Since you know something about missing toolbars, any chance you could help
us on another thread in this forum regarding PDFmaker toolbars/menus missing
in MS Word? It's the two items posted on 8/13/2005. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Mark T.

Mark, PDFmaker toolbars and menus have to do with very different problems.
They are inserted (or not) by something from Adobe Acrobat. Please read the
article on Graham's site about some problems with Adobe Acrobat. Your
question has already been addressed in different threads and is not
appropriate in this one. (This is not a criticism of you, I'm just letting
you know that you shouldn't expect duplicate answers to your questions
here.)
