Please Help! Menu Bar

Can someone please help me? I'm fairly new to CorelDraw and my boss got on my computer yesterday and now my menu bar at the top is gone. I can't figure out how to get it back and the only way I can really function is by using the hotkeys that I already have learned.

  • Right click on the Tool Bar area and when the pop-up menu appears, put a checkmark by the Menu Bar.

    • I right clicked and it does not say menu bar on it. It shows view and when I went to it, it shows several other bars, but not the one I want. I want the one shows basic commands like edit, paragraph, help etc.

        • Can you be more specific in what you have lost Rachel?  It sounds as tho' it's the text tool bar but Hughs method should show you all the tool bars tho' you can customise them 

          • I think this is what Hugh meant:

            • Not quite. He can not see his her Menu Tool Bar, i.e.: No menus, ergo no "Window" menu item to click on.  (If I interpreted what he she said, correctly....)

               

              Rachel:

              Another means to restore things is to press and hold down the F8 key while starting DRAW. When the pop-up appears asking if you want to reset to factory defaults, answer "Yes".

              • Not sure about X5 but in other versions you can also find the Commandl bars under Tools > Customization > Command Bars or Tools > Options > Workspace > Customization > Command Bars. They is also a reset there.

                 

                Opps ~ Like Hugh said and I missed. No Menu Bar, No Tools Tab.

                This may require a F8 reset of the Work Space.

            • Thanks everyone. I have it corrected. I really appreciate your time to help out!!!

              • You're welcome, Rachel. Come back often and browse around the forums, when you get a chance. You could learn a lot from the questions and conversations of the many friendly users you will find in here.

                • A similar thing happened to me (though I don't know how), and these posts led me almost to restarting CorelDraw with F8 - but I was reluctant because of other setting I'd changed..... and I tried a Right Click where the icons are displayed..... and the opportunity to tick the Menu Bar entry appeared. One more click and the menu re-appeared - Great!
