I am running word 11.3.8
and the formatting tool bar has disappeared.

I uncheck and re-check the toolbar option and it still does not
reappear. Other tool bars are visible.

Couple of suggestions (in order of severity):

1) Choose Tools/Customize/Customize Toolbars/Menus... Select the
Formatting toolbar in the listbox in the Toolbars pane (so that it's
highlighted, not just the checkbox checked). Click the Reset button.

2) Type Opt-11 to enter the Visual Basic Editor. Type CMD-g to open the
Immediate Window. In the Immediate Window, type or paste these lines,
each followed by Return:

Application.Commandbars("Formatting").Protection = msoBarNoProtection
Application.Commandbars("Formatting").Position = msoBarFloating
Application.Commandbars("Formatting").Top = 200
Application.Commandbars("Formatting").Left = 100
Application.Commandbars("Formatting").Visible = True

Type Opt-F11 to go back to XL. Reposition the toolbar as desired.

3) With XL *closed*, trash the

file. This will get rid of any other toolbar customizations you've done.

Apologies - got lost in which group I was posting...

In Word, the problem will likely be with your Normal template. See
