Menus disappeared

[malapat]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel

My program has suddenly stopped showing the Standard menu when I open Word. To get it to appear I have to click View and unclick Standard, close, then reopen View and click Standard again. When I open the Customize Toolbar menu, the Standard box is checked under Show, although the Dock box, though checked, is pale. The Formatting palette does appear, BTW.

How can I get the Standard menu to show up again?
thanks

At the extreme upper right corner of the document window there is an oblong
button to collapse/expand the area containing Docked toolbars - Click it
It's an OS X novelty that doesn't bear any identifying marks or Tip boxes.

BTW: Not to be "picky" but what's hiding are Toolbars, not the Menu. It may
sound like an trivial matter but the distinction is important

Your solution worked perfectly.

Many thanks,

OMG -- thanks so much. Have been fiddling with this for days trying to figure out what my one year old managed to click that LOST my toolbars! Thanks!
