Toolbar using word in office 2011 disappear

Question

Since installing Lion Word in Office 2011 will not show Tool bars. Can anyone give me a clue? Can restore by deleting Toolbars and then reinstating, but disapperar when exit Word.

Answer 1

This works for me: To get the toolbar to display you have to go through a "ritual" every time you open a file for the first time:
- Open a file
- Select view menu
- Slide down to "Toolbars->", and UNCHECK the standard toolbar
- Select view menu, again
- Slide down to "Toolbars->", and CHECK the standard toolbar
    -- you probably will get a blank standard tool bar at this point
- Either:
  1) Select the "+" expand window button in the upper right or
  2) Select the "-" minimize window button in the upper right and then expand the window to refresh
This is a very unacceptable, and apparently common, condition in a high priced application. When you select the standard formatting bar, you should get the standard formatting bar.
