Love the way you delicately provide instructions, Hal!<lol> Kathy... Here are a few more details: It was simply a matter of trashing the "Word Settings (9)" file from the Microsoft Preferences folder. It automatically regenerated when the =3D program started up and now it's back.

On a relatively regular basis (quarterly? definately when I'm on a deadline) My pull down menus decide they don't want to pull down. I usually jury-rigg it by adding the commands I need = =3D to my tool bars, but I know there's a way to fix it (I just forget = between problems!). Can any of you all remember what I'm supposed to do? I tried throwing = =3D away the normal template, however, I admit that I didn't empty the = trash. I know the answer is simple and involves doing something like throwing = =3D away a thing and the result is that the next time Word starts up it = thinks it =3D is the first start up and it situates itself the way it wants to = be.
