I have DOpus ver 11.18 on a Windows 10 Surface Book. I was going to check for updates and discovered that the Help menu that's usually available on the menu bar has disappeared. It's the menu that's usually a white question mark in a blue background, and has options like Help, Licence Manager, Check for Updates, etc. Perhaps I accidentally deleted it when I was customizing the menu bar. In any case, is there an easy way to restore it? If not, is there a way to export it from another machine that still has it, then import it to the Surface Book, without replacing the entire configuration? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
You can reset individual toolbars to the factory defaults by right-clicking the empty part of them and selecting the menu option to do so.
If you don't want to lose other changes to the toolbar, it could be duplicated first (so you have your own differently named copy of the Operations toolbar, and then reset the main Operations toolbar).
Or you can paste this to your toolbar which will re-create the Help menu:

Leo - thanks so much! I got it fixed, and learned some valuable techniques in the process.
For some reason when I pasted your XML code into my toolbar it didn't work - nothing happened. However, when I followed your link (How to use buttons and scripts from this forum) I was able to piece together how to get it to work. When I dragged the button to the desktop on a computer that still had the button, then copied that to the Surface Book, I could drag the button file onto the tool bar. I also opened up the button file and copied the XML, and pasted that into the toolbar, and that also worked. So perhaps there's a version difference between the version of DOpus I'm using and you're using?
In any case, I really appreciate the help, it not only got me over the problem I was having but added these great techniques to my DOpus toolbox. Many thanks!
