ToolsCustomizeToolbars.

Select Worksheet Menu Bar and "reset".

If that doesn't work(and it should) then ToolsCustomizeCommands.

Scroll down to Built-in Menus. Drag her current File command off the Menu Bar
and replace by dragging the File command up to the Menu Bar.

If the duplicates keep coming back, check for any code that is adding but not
deleting.

Could also be a corrupt Excelx.XLB file which saves customizations to menus
and toolbars.

Close out Excel. Do a search for *.xlb and re-name to *.old

Re-start Excel and it will re-build to default settings.

In Excel 2003 I have a client that when she goes to "File" and the drop down
shows up there are duplicate menu choices to choose.The Menu shows as follwos;
New
Open
Close
New

Save
Save
Save As
etc etc etc..... indicating the rest of the menu is OK.

What causes this duplicate Menus choices and how do I correct it.

I have performed a detect and repair to no avail. I have uninstalled and
reinstalled, but still have the same problem.
