Insert off of Toolbar is no longer functioning

[Mike Leska]

The Insert menu item on the toolbar nolonger gives me a
drop down list of options to choose from. All the other
menu selections, File/Edit/View/Format/Tools, etc.. work
fine. I have uninstalled office and reinstalled, and I
get the same effect. I am running XP and Office XP ...
any suggestions?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Many users have reported losing commands from their menu bar. Try these
fixes (in order):

1. Open Tools | Customize. On the Toolbars tab, select Menu Bar and press
Reset.

2. If that doesn't work, switch to the Commands tab and select Built-in
Menus in the Categories list. In the Commands list, select Insert and drag
it
to the menu bar. (Remove the existing one first.)

3. If that doesn't work (or the problem recurs on restarting Word), see
