Glad you have it sorted Eugene.
This is why I loathe to install anything Microsoft on my computers,
unless I have to ;-)

Hi Ronnie,
WOW you won't believe the trials and tribulation....
Your instructions put me on the right track. When I did as you said
I couldn't restore the File menu item on the top menu strip but you
could delete / restore the others. I accidentally deleted the Edit
menu whilst playing around with it and then could not recover that
either. Damn!!
I then did a Find through the Finder on any documents modified today
and deleted anything with microsoft in its name (I tried similar
before) but this time I also deleted Normal.dotm Finally I have
Word with a full menu, this is after about 4 weeks of missing the
File menu.
Live and learn. Damn you Micro$oft!!
Thanks again Ronnie.
Regards,
Eugene

Hi Eugene,
This is where I found the bit about Word 5.1, does say it applies
to MS Word 2008 for Mac.

Delete or Reset a Menu:
To delete or reset a menu, follow these steps:
1. While the Customize dialog box is open and the menu bar is
visible, hold down the CONTROL key, and then click the menu that
you want.
2. Click Delete or Reset in the New dialog box.
To reset all menus back to default, follow these steps:
1. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
2. On the Toolbar tab, click Reset.
3. In the dialog box that appears, click OK.
NOTE: In Word, if you are prompted to choose which template to
reset the menus to, select the Normal Global Template.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni,
thanks for your response.
I cannot find the option for Word 5.1 menus on either the "view"
pull down menu nor "view" in the preference panel. Perhaps it is
not an option in Word 2008?

Eugene

Hi all,
MicroSoft Word (office 2008) has lost its 'File' menu header on
the top menu bar. This means I can't do a Save As... etc unless
I know the key board short cuts.
I have deleted word.plist, played with View - customise toolbar
and menus, hit reset etc all to no avail.
Any ideas how to get my normal menu back?
Hi Eugene,
I don't use MS Word but you could check, when you click 'View'
do you have 'Word 5.1 Menus' enabled?
If you do disable it.
Cheers,
Ronni
