Lost MS Office Toolbars

Learn how to recover a lost MS Office toolbar.

MS Office Toolbar Dependence Syndrome

Once a new Microsoft Office user gets comfortable with Toolbar buttons, the user is likely to virtually abandon use of more complex menu commands. So, panic can rapidly set in a when one of the Toolbars vanishes without a trace. This is one of the most common tech support and training requests I see with Microsoft Office users.

Easily Remedied with a Few Minutes of Training

Include some simple training in your employee computer orientation to show how to get back a Toolbar that may have wandered off the screen. You control which Toolbars are displayed through the View menu, Toolbars command. By default, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel display the Standard and Formatting Toolbars. You can turn the display of various Toolbars on and off by toggling displayed checkmarks (Figure 3-3).
