SYMPTOMS
After you use some commands or features, menu commands do not stay visible after you click the title of the menu; you have to hold down the mouse button in order to see the commands.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you use a command or feature that is implemented as part the Microsoft Office 2001 shared library. Some commands that use the shared library include:
 * On the Tools menu, click Customize.
 * On the Tools menu, click Flag for Follow-Up.



WORKAROUND
To make the menus &quot;sticky&quot; again, open any dialog box that does not use the shared library, and then click Cancel. This includes, but is not limited to the following dialog boxes:
 * On the Edit menu, click Preferences.
 * On the Format menu, click Fonts.
 * On the Edit menu, click Header and Footer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
