What to do if the toolbar in MS Word has disappeared. While working in Word, for some reason the top panel with functions is hidden

Almost all users who have at least once opened the Word editor remember the program’s workspace: at the top there is a control panel with various sections and functions. After analyzing the sequence of user actions, the developers grouped the commands into separate blocks, thereby making it easier to find the required option. In this article we will tell you how to pin the toolbar in Word if it is “hidden” under a document.

The hidden tape mode is especially convenient to use on netbooks and laptops with a small screen. It allows you to increase the view of the page and not be distracted by unnecessary details.

Proven methods:

Method number 1: you can pin the toolbar in Word by double-clicking on the panel, and you can display it again in the same way.
Method number 2: near the quick access panel, which is responsible for saving the document and canceling actions, you will see an arrow, clicking on which will open the context list. By checking the box next to the “Collapse Ribbon” command, you will hide the panel, and by removing it, you will display it again.
Method number 3: right-clicking on any empty field will bring up a short list of commands, including “Collapse Ribbon”.

The state of the ribbon remains after closing the document, regardless of which of the listed methods you used. In the collapsed position, the menu will open commands when you hover the mouse over the required tab, and then “hide” the commands again.

The ability to independently configure the MS Word program and display the necessary commands in the form of buttons on the toolbar greatly facilitates the user’s work with documents. For example, to quickly format a font, you can use the commands to increase or decrease the size of characters by one point. This is usually done using a dropdown menu Size on the toolbar Formatting, where only selective sizes are presented: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and then there is an increase only after 2 or 4 points. This is just one example of a command that you can “pull” onto the toolbar and use constantly in your work. Next, it’s up to you to choose which function is most often encountered in your work. So, the setup principle itself is as follows: Run the command Service/Settings and a dialog box will open (see Fig.). Drawing. Settings Dialog Box Toolbars Bookmark Toolbars allows you to enable or disable (by checking the box) almost all available commands on the toolbars (see Fig.) Naturally, the user cannot cover such a volume of information and learns everything gradually, and not all commands are needed to work in the Word program, but everyone has their own use of programs and therefore there is the following tab Teams in the dialog box (see Fig.).
Drawing. Settings/Commands In this option, it is possible to “move” only those buttons to the toolbar that you use most often. To do this, select Category on the left side Bookmarks, For example, Format, on the right side Bookmarks are Teams. Next, left-click on the command Increase size by 1 pt and, holding the left mouse button, drag the command onto the toolbar Formatting. Do the same actions with other button commands (see Fig.).
Drawing. Setting up button commands on the toolbar When you close the document, the button command settings are saved. If you do not need these commands, you can easily remove them from the toolbars in the opposite way, i.e. open dialog box Settings/Commands and “pull” unnecessary buttons from the toolbar. Third tab Options in the dialog box Settings is quite accessible for the user to study independently and allows you to install additional features when working with Menu And icons(see Fig.).
Drawing. Setup/Options Button Keyboard on all tabs allows you to assign hot keys,

 copy styles into the template.

The toolbar in Word has disappeared. It would seem that there is no longer a person who cannot work in the Word text editor. But there are people who work in it and don’t even know what it’s called. And many of its functions have never even been heard of. So, they typed out some little note for a friend and forgot about it. But this is home. I even know people who do not install the office suite on their computer. They don't need him. These are mainly gamers (from the English word game - game). But students, accountants and office workers cannot do without these programs.

I work in a medical organization, and almost everyone here has to work with documents. So, there is no way you can do without these programs. Almost all computers have Microsoft Word 2003 installed. Why so old? Yes, because it is the simplest of all so far, and people are accustomed to it. I'm trying to slowly transfer everyone to new versions, but many are very resistant and don't want to master new versions of programs. And this is not only in our organization. Therefore, I will describe all the nuances of working in office packages, both in old versions and in new ones.

The toolbar has disappeared in Word

Let’s take this problem as an example: the toolbar in Word has disappeared.

This is a common occurrence in Word 2003. This is probably why the developers completely changed the toolbar in new versions, starting with Word 2007. Although with a lot of “skill” and in new versions you can manage to remove any panel from view.

But now we will talk about the panels of Word 2000, 2000 XP and 2003. At the end, I will tell you how to return the missing panel in new versions.

How to return the toolbar to Word 2003

People often come up to me at work with a complaint that the panel has disappeared somewhere. Standard or panel Formatting . Or even both together. Only the menu bar remains visible. And then, thank God! One woman managed to remove this too. We will return the lost item to its place.

Click on the menu " View ».
Hover over " Toolbars " and select to start " Standard ».

And then in exactly the same way" Formatting ».
A check mark should appear opposite these two panels.

You can add other panels in this list in exactly the same way.

It’s just better to remove unnecessary panels from visibility, because you will be distracted and spend a long time searching among them for the icon you need.

Note

The panels can be moved forward, backward, or placed in two tiers.

Try installing all panels. Then, if you realize that you don’t need some of them, just go back to the menu “ View » « Toolbars » and uncheck the panels that you no longer need.

How to return missing panels or as it is also called - tape inWord 2007

Developers from Microsoft, starting with Office 2007, have radically changed the familiar application interface. Instead of the familiar list of menus, a whole ribbon appeared in Word.

At one time, many copies were broken in disputes about how convenient this innovation was. But the firm position of the designers of the most popular office suite, who included a similar interface in all newly developed programs, made all conversations pointless. I just had to calm down and learn to work with a new tool.

The ribbon has many customizable options. And one of them is the ability to collapse the menu into a small line when there is no mouse selection.

The function is convenient in principle, but for some it is a source of unnecessary irritation during operation. The ribbon constantly disappears from view; the user has to make unnecessary mouse movements to open it and select the necessary tool.

Knowing the features of Microsoft applications, it is clear that to change a parameter you need to check or uncheck the box. Let's look for where she could be.

Let's try right-clicking on the collapsed toolbar.

We now have a context menu that looks like this.

Now if you try to uncheck the “Collapse Ribbon” item, it will appear on the screen and remain there, even after clicking on the free space of the document.

The context menu will look like this.

As a result, the tape does not disappear anywhere, and you can concentrate on preparing the necessary document.
