Menu Bar acting strange
I am using office 2003 and in Excel, the menu bar options and the right
click options have started expanding to the left rather than to the right. Is this a default setting that i have changed by mistake or does Excel need to be re-installed? I have tried the detect and repair and this made no differenc. It is nothing major but it is really annoying. Thank you for any assitance. -- Kevin Smith :o) |

Right click on the menu bar will display a big list . The last option is
customizeclick customizeFrom the window select Options tab and hit 'Reset menu and toolbar usage data' If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Kevin Smith" wrote: I am using office 2003 and in Excel, the menu bar options and the right click options have started expanding to the left rather than to the right.

Menu Bar acting strange
I always thought that this was just the way windows worked. If it thought you
didn't have enough room on the "normal" side, then you got the opposite side. I don't know a way of changing this behavior.

I don't have a guess.
Maybe asking in a newsgroup dedicated to windows (include your version) would help. Kevin Smith wrote: You are correct.

Menu Bar acting strange
Thank you for your assistance. Here is the answer for future reference...
Here's How: 1. Open the Control Panel. (Classic View) 2. Click on the Tablet PC Settings icon. 3. Under Handedness, dot the setting you want. (You probably want the LEFT HANDED setting, trust me) 4. Click OK. -- Kevin Smith :o) "Dave Peterson" wrote: I don't have a guess. Maybe asking in a newsgroup dedicated to windows (include your version) would help. Kevin Smith wrote: You are correct.
