I am puzzled about this problem.

My ms word 2k, does not display any formating of menu's when adocument is
opened.

I have tried  Uninstall & reinstalling the MS OFFICE Suite comletely.
I have tried installing to another Drive attached to the same Win2003 Server.
I have tried removing the Normal.dot File and reinstalling from a system
that works
using the same Office 2k CD Rom.

I have tried removing the entry from the registry and Deleting the intire
directory and reinstalling and still all my other MS Office Suitre apps come
up fine but
MS WORD Still has no menu's , no Tool Bar, Nor formating nothing but and
area to type text.

I have how ever realized that some minipulation can be done using the
crtl-Keys , but this is stil limited and cumbersome, so its not what I would
like to do .

Is there any one who has ever had a simular problem and , what did you do to
restore the defaults.

The MS  Document I found on the Web assumes that you still  have a menu
Option to go to customize, but in my case there is nothing available to use
to get to these tools , Options at all ?

What a trtip, this is a good one for the most of us, got me stumped for 3
Days and still no resolution. Now I need help, or should I just go back to
Wordstar, of Samna ...Ha Ha.. just kidding but that tells you how long I have
been dealing with thses systems and this one has got me stumped, along with a
few other Die hards...

Any help is Greatly apreciated, and will share what I foudn about the Email
that can not be deleted from MS Outlook... that's a tricky one two, I noticed
a lot of people had a multitude of Idea's but none of them worked.
