    This is minor, but annoying. I use Microsoft Word 2002. The order of the toolbars at the top of the page have changed. The line with File, Edit, View, etc. used to be at the top. Below it was the line with the icons for New blank document, Open, Save, etc. Below it was the line with the typeface, font size, etc. Now, the line with File, Edit, View, etc. has moved below the line with the typeface, font size, etc. The other two lines have moved up. Is there a way to restore this to how it used to be? I confess I am a creature of habit, and like things how I am used to them.

    Bucksone, click on a blank part of the menu bar (one with file, edit, etc) hold down mouse and drag to top and release. Should fix it. Post back either way.

    To expand on TJ-IT's excellent and correct advice, these toolbars are dragNdrop, place-able and size-able. Usually you can tell where on ends and another begins by a bar at the beginning of each. When you move you mouse over these bars the cursor will change to a four-way arrow. This is the time to left click and hold onto the toolbar and move it up or down to place or rearrange or to the right or left to size it smaller or larger.

    Thanks for the excellant advice. Apparently, I should have just asked my 15-year old son, because when I went to follow the instructions given here, I discovered he had already corrected the problem using the same method.
    I'm feeling very old all of the sudden!
