Recently installed XP - Microsoft Office 2003 Basic and I
don't see "Tools" on my menu bar. I can add different
tools to my tool bar but what happened to Tools on the
menu bar and can I put it back up?

It's not clear to me from what you've written where exactly you are missing
Tools. There are many different places that "Tools" can show up in an
Office installation of any version. Each program should have a Tools menu
in the menu bar. You should find "Office Tools" in your Start Menu: Start>
(All) Programs> Microsoft Office> Microsoft Office Tools. The Office
toolbar, included with older versions of Office, that can be placed on the
desktop is not available in Office 2003.

For further assistance, you'll want to ask this question in one of the
