or no reason I can determine, the top tool bar in WORD (e.g. Home, Insert,

If the whole thing is gone, try repairing the installation. Click Office button Word Options Resources and click the Diagnose button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

I bet lots of people would like to make the Ribbon go away when they're not actually looking for a command. |

You are aware, aren't you, that you can hide the Ribbon?

I can make it smaller, but I can't make it go away.
Or, is hiding the ribbon what doctor_ten has inadvertently done, that even Jay doesn't know how to undo? On Oct 7, 6:04 pm, "Suzanne S.

If you right-click on the QAT and choose Minimize the Ribbon, you reduce it
to just tabs. When you click on a tab, that tab will open, but when you click back in the document, the Ribbon will be minimized again. You can also minimize or restore by double-clicking on any tab. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "grammatim" wrote in message ...

grammatim,
If doctor_teri has hidden (minimized) the ribbon, then any of the three methods will unhide it (Ctrl+F1, or right-click the QAT and uncheck Minimize the Ribbon, or double-click a tab). That isn't a mystery. If you reread the original post, though, doctor_teri said that the tabs are also missing. There is no ordinary method to cause that, which is why I suggested a repair. -- Jay Freedman On Tue, 7 Oct 2008 18:35:39 -0500, "Suzanne S.

Thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate the quick responses! To be
clear, yes the tabs disappeared as well, so I had to do a repair. However, I was not aware of the Minimize Ribbon feature, so it is good to know...
