Toolbar

[Joan_Diane]

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel How do I set Word (or excel/powerpoint) so that the toolbars appear on opening every document? At the moment I have to open them in view for each document.

You seem to be yet another victim of Apple's innocuous, unidentified &
poorly documented capsular button at the right end of the document window's
Title Bar... It collapses & expands the toolbar area.

Hi, I have the same question as Joan, but it is not because of the capsular
button. That button does indeed hide the toolbar area, but it's not the
cause of my issue.
When the area is expanded, I can see certain toolbars, like standard and
formattting, but I can't seem to make it so that when I open a brand new
document, I *always* see certain other toolbars that I need (e.g. reviewing
or drawing). Their appearance seems to be linked to the file rather than
fixed as an option in Word.
Thank you!

The Reviewing Toolbar is somewhat unique - it will not automatically display
unless the doc being opened contains comments or Tracked Changes... In which
case you can't *prevent* it from automatically displaying Most of the
"contextual" toolbars behave the same way.

There should be no problem with the Drawing Toolbar, however. Confirm that
Office is fully updated (12.2.3) plus a standard disk permissions repair
using Apple's Disk Utility app. Reply with further details if the problem
continues.
