Standard tool bar disappeared in Excel 2008

[Freddy-01]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Every time I launch a work book in Excel 2008 the standard and formula tool bars are absent. I have to go to View, Tool Bars and unclick and then click the standard tool bar to make it appear. It was not like that when I first installed Excel 2008. But it is very inconvenient. Does some one know how to make the tool bar and formula bars appear every time a sheet is opened?

As posted repeatedly in answer to the same question: Click the capsular
button at the right end of the document window's title bar to turn of
Apple's poorly documented "Minimize Drawer" feature.

Thanks. That was easy, once I understood what the meaning of the capsular button.

Please ‹ I'm serious ‹ give me a better description & I'll be more than
happy to use it from now on. AFAIK it has no "official" name, no tip box
appears when you hover over it with the mouse pointer & no explicit label by
which to identify it. I know of no better way to describe it.

Well... It goes blue if you click it in Word...
