SYMPTOMS
If you drag a toolbar in any of the Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition programs to the bottom of the screen, the toolbar may be difficult to reposition or may completely disappear. Also, you may not be able to see the status bar at the bottom of the screen.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the GoMac control panel is installed on your computer. Note that the status bar is not visible only if the GoMac program bar is set to "Auto hide."



WORKAROUND
If you drag a toolbar to the bottom of the screen and it disappears or you cannot drag the toolbar back to a floating position, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Application menu, click Finder.
 * 2) On the Application menu click Microsoft .

The toolbar then floats near the bottom of the screen.

If you cannot see the status bar every time the GoMac program bar unhides itself, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Apple menu, point to Control Panels, and then click GoMac.
 * 2) In the GoMac dialog box, clear the Auto Hide check box.
 * 3) Close the GoMac dialog box.

The status bar is displayed above the stationary GoMac program bar.



STATUS
This problem occurs when you use Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition and GoMac version 1.5v1 or earlier.
