Q: I am using Office 2000. I don’t know what I did the other day. The menu bar of Word 2000 disappeared. I used some simple methods and couldn’t find it back. I couldn’t install Office 2000 again. What should I do?

Answer: Click "Start → YunxiaobaoChongqingKing of the Holy Emperor" to open the registry editor, find or create a new "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[Office Version]\Word\Data" item, change the "Data" name to "Olddata", and save and exit. (Editor's Note: The specific values ​​of [Office Version] are as follows: Office 97 is 8.0; Office 2000 is 9.0; Office XP is 10.0). After completing the settings, save and exit the Registry Editor, open your Word again and find that the menu bar has returned to its original appearance.
