Most likely you’ve at some point performed an operation that has made Excel’s toolbar temporarily lose its mind. To correct this situation: • Start Excel. On the Tools menu select Customize. • On the resulting Customize dialog click the Toolbars tab. • Near the end of the Toolbars list, find Worksheet Menu Bar. Select that entry so that it is highlighted. • Click the Reset button. When asked whether you really want to do this, click OK. • Click the Close button, then exit and restart Excel. • If you previously deactivated the DPlot Add-In to get rid of this error message, select Tools>Addins, check the DPlot Interface box, then click OK.
