I'm not sure what I did, but now my ribbon bar and options have disappeared. Can you help me get it back? It's only happening in Microsoft Word. I'm a Log on to Learn member and couldn't find a specific video that addresses this. Thanks! We've received this question a few times so, we thought we'd share it here in our blog.
This is what the member was seeing when looking at their screen in Microsoft Word.
This is what the member wants to get back.
This is a common problem. A user has closed the ribbon bar without knowing how they did it and they need to get the ribbon to display again. First, don't feel silly, this isn't the first time a user has contacted us. In fact since it's a popular item, we've created a video and I've included a link at the bottom of this thread. I'll note the step-by-step process here for you as well.
Minimize the Ribbon (Microsoft Office 2010)
1. Click the Minimize Button located in the upper-right corner just below the X (close button). This button is a toggle, click once to minimize, click again to restore.
or
2. Right click on the Ribbon and choose Minimize the Ribbon.
or
3. Use the Keyboard shortcut, Ctl+F1
