Replace What is Missing from the drop down menus

This tip concerns a missing menu in an MS Office Suite program, which is a very frustrating situation to find yourself stuck in.

The real issue is not where did it go, but instead, how do we replace it? Before you begin, you obviously need to be in the MS Office program that's missing the menu.

You need to open the Customize window. Tools > Customize choice, or right click over a toolbar and choose Customize from the bottom of the list.

In the Customize window, you need to go to the Commands tab.

In the left side list (Categories), you're looking to find Built-in Menus. (In Outlook, it's listed as Menu Bar just to confuse the issue).

With Built-in Menus selected on the left, the right side (Commands) should become a list containing all of your choices, including the usual menu names. Select the one you need, then click-hold-and-drag it after you have opened it, to the menu bar and drop it in the location of your choice. That's it! Close the Customize window and you're back in business with all menus available!
