Symptoms
While using Word for Mac one or more Toolbars are missing and cannot be added.
Cause
This behavior can be caused by one of these things:
- The oval button in the upper-right corner of the document was clicked. This button 'toggles' display of toolbars on and off.
- There is an issue with the Normal template in Word.
- The toolbars or menus are modified.
Resolution
To resolve this problem, try the following methods.
Method 1: Make sure that tool bar display is not turned off
In the upper-right corner of the window click the oval button.
Note
When this button is clicked, it hides all the toolbars. A second click causes the toolbars to be displayed.
If the toolbars reappear, quit, and then restart Word to make sure that the appropriate toolbars are displayed.

Office 365 plans include premium versions of these applications plus other services that are enabled over the Internet, including online storage with OneDrive and Skype minutes for home use.
If Method 1 did not resolve the problem, try Method 2.
