MS Word Help

Whenever I open a word file, I cannot see my toolbars. I have to go under "view" and turn off a toolbar, then turn it back on again for the toolbars to show up.

I want to just see them when I open the program!

Any help?

You might have tried this already but go to

View> Customize Toolbars and Menus... > Toolbars and Menus

and check the boxes of the ones you always want to see.

By selecting

View> Customize Toolbars and Menus... > Commands

You can also add commonly used buttons by clicking and dragging them from the list to the top menu bar so they don't appear in those annoying floating Toolbars. Those will definitely not disappear on you.

Hope that helps!

still does not appear.... I'm not sure what the problem is. I go into View - customize toolbars and menus and they are all checked off...

Your "normal template" is probably corrupt. Delete it and start over. Word will create a new one. The toolbars when selected should stick. The normal template is located here:

/Users/your user name/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/normal.dotm

Note: The above is for Word 2008. If you're using 2004, the normal template is located in a different place. Use Spotlight to find it.

Regards.

Found a Solution

I had the same exact issue and what helped me is regenerating the Word preference file using the following instructions:

Hope it works for you too!

Just did what you suggested (after much time!) and it totally did the trick.

Thanks!
