Missing Toolbars in Word 2000

[Chasey]

I seem to have lost all toolbars in Word 2000.
It will not let me press Alt and F to bring up the file menu and I even tried uninstalling Office and re-installing it. Excel is OK. I also tried a colleagues Normal.dot file.

Try deleting the normal.dot on the machine with the problem. When opening word again, it will be re-created. You may need to change the default dictionary back to your country.

Have just tried this and it recreates it OK. However it still has no toolbars.

OK, let's try a macro. This will go through each of the Command Bars in Word and ask you if you would like to turn it on.

1. Go to the VB Editor (Alt-F11)

2. Display the Project Exporer, if not already shown.
View>Project Explorer

3. Double-Click ThisDocument under the Microsoft Word
Objects in the current project - Project(Document #)

4. Insert this code.

5. Switch back to the document and run the macro.
Alt-F8
Run the ToggleCommandBars macro

Option Explicit

Sub ToggleCommandBars()
    Dim cb As CommandBar
    Dim sTmp As String
    For Each cb In CommandBars
        sTmp = "Turn On CommandBar: " & cb.Name & "?"
        If MsgBox(sTmp, vbYesNo, "Toggle CommandBar") = vbYes Then
            On Error Resume Next
            CommandBars(cb.Name).Visible = True
            If Err.Number <> 0 Then
                Err.Clear
                MsgBox &quot;Could not turn on CommandBar: &quot; & cb.Name
            End If
        End If
    Next
End Sub

Hope this helps...
