You're referring to the Formatting *Toolbar*, not the Formatting Palette
which is a part of the Toolbox... They're 2 separate & very different
devices. Turn the Formatting Toolbar on as always in View> Toolbars>
Formatting. If it's already checked but still not showing, click the little
capsule at the right end of the document window's title bar. Have a look at
Word Help on the topic: Customize toolbars and menus.
