Yes, I have Adobe Acrobat 7 installed on my computer, but not Objective.

Hi,

We have this problem also. I was wondering if the Adobe Acrobat 7 and an
electronic document record management software called Objective is installed
in your PC.

No luck. The items under the Table menu cannot be selected for any word
files that were not created on my computer. FYI, I have Word 2003
(11.6568.6568). The other files were most likely created in an older
version. Is there a way to update these files to my version when I open them?

The fact that it works when opening a document from inside Word but
not when using My Computer (I assume that's what you mean by
"directly") suggests a problem in the mechanism that transfers the
document's information from the icon to Word.

Try opening Start Run and typing this line, then clicking OK:

winword.exe /r

(notice the space between the exe and the slash). You won't see any
action, but Word will rewrite its registry entries and then quit. Then
try opening a document from an icon.

I can see the Tables menu but when I select Insert the menu that should
appear next to the arrow symbol does not appear, therefore, I can't insert a
Table.

If I open Word and then open the document up under the File menu, it does
work. However, if I open up the file directly (not via the Word program) the
menu still fails to appear. Any other advice?

First attempt:
- Open the Tools Customize dialog.
- Right-click the Table menu and select Reset from the popup menu.
- Close the Customize dialog.
- Test the menu.

Second attempt, if the first doesn't work:
- Close Word.
- In "My Computer", choose Tools Folder Options View.
- Click the "Show hidden files and folders" option.
- Close the dialog.
- Go to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\your name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
- Rename the file Normal.dot to OldNormal.dot.
- Start Word.
- Test the menu.
- If you had customizations (styles, AutoText entries, customized
toolbars, or macros) stored in the OldNormal.dot template, use the
Organizer (in Tools Templates & Add-Ins) to copy them to Normal.dot.

I've closed and reopened Word already.
