My menu bars are inconsistant. I want my
File Edit View Insert Format Tools ... bar to be on
the very top of my screen. When I move it to the top it
works for that email, the next one I open up its back
between the Outlook Read Mail and E-mail menu bars. I've
changed the bars, closed Word and Outlook and re-opened
Outlook but it still reverts back to being in the middle.

Why does this happen?

You may have a corrupt outcmd.dat file. Try renaming your outcmd.dat file
to outcmd.old while Outlook is closed. Outlook will rebuild the default
toolbars the next time you open it. If your changes to the toolbars "stick"
after doing this, then you know it was the outcmd.dat file causing the
problem. Make sure to make a backup of the new outcmd.dat file so you can
restore it if you ever run into the same problem again.

Note: If you're using Windows 2000 or XP, you'll need to search in hidden
and system folders to find the outcmd.dat file.
