Help! Microsoft Word 2000. Today my "options" in the Tools menu is just
gone! Formatting has changed in some of my documents, too. How can I get my
options menu back? If I reinstall Word will it mess up already created
documents and such?

First try the following: Click Customize on the Tools menu. Click the
Options tab. Make sure that the "Menus show recently used commands
first" option is cleared, and then click OK.

If that doesn't help, take a look at

Thanks for trying to help. Finally, at the usual 2am hour, I was able to
restore the options selection to the tools menu. I went into tools,
customize, selected tools from the category side and on the other side found
'options'. I dragged options all the way up to the tools menu until it
dropped down and then was able to actually "place" it right where it used to
be. When I released the mouse button...wha-la...it was back. Don't know how
it got away from me but I'm glad it's back.
