Although Office 2000 is Microsoft's latest suite creation, it still has features that annoy some users. One of the biggest complaints I've heard thus far has been related to the truncated pull-down menus. If you need to access 'more' options, you have to click on a set of arrows to expand the menu. This is nifty for novices, but power users will become miffed in about .02 seconds. To have the menus bear all, select 'View' from the menu, then 'Toolbars,' and 'Customize.' Click the Options tab and deselect 'Menus show recently used commands first'. Everything should be back to "normal" now.
