[I haven't kept the earlier posts on this thread, so I'm not Replying...] On the subject of Screen Menus mysteriously not appearing, I now recall a possible solution from an earlier thread. I don't remember who posted it, and it was peripheral to the problem I had posted (about a few individual items not showing up on the screen menu, though the rest of it worked). But it might solve your problem. If your trouble is that a Screen Menu strip shows up, but you don't see anything in it, it may just be collapsed to basically zero vertical length. Try undocking it from the edge (grab the double-line top thing), and pulling it out into the drawing area. You can't stretch it out in its docked position, but out in the drawing area you can stretch the bottom of it down and make it longer, and then (if this is, in fact, the problem) the contents will show up. Then you can dock it again if you want. Whoever pointed that earlier had some explanation about a bug causing it, which I also forget, but it's a relatively easy solution if it works. Kent Cooper, AIA
