I am having trouble, with my aged eyes, figuring out quite what is missing. Is it the bar that starts "File Edit ..."?

Try Alt+V and hover over Toolbars and then select them all and see what pops up.
 
Thanks for the screen grab. I can actually read that.

I used the "Toolbars" tab shown on you picture. Have you tried that?

The "Show standard ..." is also greyed out on my screen.

 
It is not working. and whats with greyout portion? how to enable the tools menu?
 
Have you tried this?

Click Alt+V, hover over Toolbars and then select them all and see what pops up.
 
I sorted out the problem myself by doing some research on windows forum online. we have to go to this folder C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\ and rename outcmd.dat to outcmd.old while outlook is closed. when we reopen outlook 2007 the menu and tools menu are all back.
