No font names, no font sizes. As the message said, your Word Settings file got munged. That's where all the menu info is stored. Go into your system folder and trash the Word Settings (4) file. Then when you start Word again you'll be back to the default settings and the fonts and menus should be back. You will have to choose "Full Menus" to get off the short menus that it defaults to; you will also loose any customization of menus you may have made using the "commands" menu item. -- Dana E.
