How to customize menus/toolbars so the full menu always shows.
Q: Bob R. writes “I just got a new computer with Office 2003 pre-installed, and when I open a menu in Access (or any other Office app, for that matter), I just see a few commands, and I have to hit an arrow to expand the menus. How can I see the full menus again?”
A: This is an Office-wide “feature” (not a very sensible one, in my opinion). To get your full menus back, right-click the grey background of any menu or toolbar, and select Customize. Click the Options tab of the Customize dialog, and check the Always show full menus checkbox. You can also set a few other toolbar/menu options on this dialog.
