Dear Support Community,
Today by accident, I removed the “Tools†menu from the MS Word menu. I was
trying to make a minor change in the program, and didn’t even know I deleted
it. Unfortunately, I open and closed the program before I realized that the
change had been made and as a result, when I realized the problem, I went to
see if I could correct my error by deleting “normal.dot†and renaming
“normal.wbk†as “normal.dot.†That, however, didn’t correct the problem
because the menu with the deleted “tools†menu had been saved in the “.wbkâ€
file as well. I know I can get back to “primal†normal.dot by simply
deleting my “normal.dot†and letting the program create the basic file.
Moreover, I have saved older versions of my “normal.dot†files in my template
folder that were replaced for various reasons, such as corruptions, etc.
Those older versions have the tool menu in place. Since I have been using MS
word for almost 13 years and my current version of “normal.dot†has been
tweaked with lots of macros, autocorrects and changes to the menus that I
want to retain. So the last thing I want to do is to start from scratch.
What I’m hoping I can do is to “import†the tools menu onto my current
“normal.dot†or reconstitute it. Can anyone suggest how I might correct this
problem? Thanks.
