Recently I have noticed my status bar disappearing. I keep going back to
Tools -- Options to turn it back on.

I'm not sure exactly when it is happening, but it is often missing when I
want to use it.

I did notice that it disappeared when I opened a document that was sent to
me as an attachment to an e-mail. I have my Reading Pane allowed in my
Options, but when this document opens it quickly flashes in the Reading Pane,
then goes to the Page Layout view. At that time the Status Bar is missing.

Is there anyway to prevent the status bar from disappearing?
