While deleting spurious buttons from the File menu (placed there by some
free-trial PDF-file program too big for its britches), I dragged the File
button into oblivion.

I tried what the Help advised, but nothing works.

Any thoughts on how I can get my File button back?

Regards,
Bob

I tried again, and figured it out.

"Help" for "Add a button, menu, or command" explains:

On the Tools menu, click Customize.
...
Add a button

Click the Commands tab.
In the Categories box, click a category for the command you want the button
to perform.
Drag the command or macro ... you want from the Commands box to the
displayed toolbar.

I missed "Built-in Menus" in the Categories box. That shows File in the
Commands box.
