That is my simple question. I've tried playing w/ the macro security settings
to no avail. Can anyone help me. It should be a simple thing; I just don't
know what it is.

Thanks

Probably no way anyone can help, if you can't offer more info than that.

Wild guess?  Right-click on the menubar, select Customize, select "Menu Bar" in the
Tools tab, and press the Reset button.

Karl, thanks for your suggestion. I tried it, but no luck. I would gladly
furnish more info, but I have no idea what info would be relevant. I have no
add-ins attached, nothing to my knowledge that would be actively disabling
the command. The only thing that occurs to me is that I have the anti-virus
program AVG installed, but I doubt that matters. Unfortunately, I don't have
the time to try to figure this thing out now; I was hoping it was a known
thing w/ a known solution; a quick fix.

Best,
Alex Price

I think the specific version of Word would've potentially helped the most, but I see
from your other post that it was something crudded up in the Normal.dot!  Good to
hear you got it going.

Well, I just installed a new Normal.dot file from another machine and that
did the trick. I have no idea how this command became disabled in the other
file, but that's not my problem now!

Thanks
