Actually, is this user stating that LibreOffice is the issue of no
menu? Or the OS. After reading the article and the original post, that
might be the case.
Since the user came from a Windows 7 environment, MATE would be my
choice. Even the application windows seem similar to Win7's application
windows.
I find that having a desktop environment that is like the 10.04 version
of GNOME works well with Windows users, when they migrate to Linux.
The big "thing" for finding where the menu option[s] is[are] depends
upon the version of Ubuntu, for both Ubuntu and LibreOffice.
Did 16.10 still use Unity? How about the tiled environment of Ubuntu Gnome?
I prefer Ubuntu with the MATE desktop environment. The good part is
that 16.04 has MATE in its repository.
To be honest, I rarely used Unity with Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. I made
sure I went and installed MATE before I did anything else with the final
version.

Hi,
it looks like you are not on your own. I found a link

There is a suggestion that you get updates. I have seen this shown as
a solution elsewhere if you feel confident.

Hi
Ive just installed ubuntu 16.10 from magazine disc. It comes of
course with LO bundled (or parts of it anyhow)
But ive just found when i wanted to change properties that it doesnt
have the main menu across the top of the window and i cant seem to
find it anywhere. This is the first time ive used linux, i had to
install it as my windows 7 installation seems to have broken, so ive
got quite a learning curve ahead. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Gary
