I must have done something, as suddenly the "file" option is gone from my
menu bar.

I have it set to view "standard", and my menu bar starts w/ "edit", and then
proceeds normally. So I'm missing both the "file" option, and the excel icon
that are normally to the left of "edit".

I'm also unable to move the menu bar over - the other menu/tool bars have 4
"dots" running top to botton, and when you place the cursor over them you get
the 4 arrows. The menu bar where "file" would normally be only has 3 dots,
and when you place the cursor over it you get the 4 arrows, but I am unable
to move the bar anywhere.

I've tried closing and restarting, rebooting, and unchecking/re-checking
"standard" in "View Toolbars".

Searched the forum but was unsuccessful as well.

Can someone assist?
