SYMPTOMS
When you view Full Screen (on the View menu click Full Screen), the Full Screen toolbar is missing.



CAUSE
By design, Word does not provide a menu command to turn off the Full Screen toolbar. The only way to hide the Full Screen toolbar is to run a Visual Basic for Applications command.

If the Full Screen toolbar is hidden, you may have a macro or add-in that has set the visible property for the Full Screen toolbar to False.
