Steve,
If the icons have disappeared along with the horizontal scroll bar (they are
at the left end of the horizontal scroll bar), then go to Edit menu ->
Preferences -> "View" tab -> down the bottom right, click in the checkbox
that reads "Horizontal scroll bar".
If the icons have gone but the horizontal scroll bar is still present,
please post back so that someone else can suggest an answer. Please mention
the version of Word that you are using, including installed updates. (My
answer is based on Word 2001; your version may involve differences from my
version.)
(To reduce my use of the mouse, I use Command-Option-n to go to Normal view,
Command-Option-p for Page Layout view, Command-Option-i for Print Preview,
and Command-Option-o for Outline view.)

* If you post a question, keep re-visiting the newsgroup for a few days
after the first response comes in. Sometimes it takes a few responses before
the best or complete solution is proposed, and sometimes you'll be asked for
further information so that a better answer can be provided. Good tips about
getting the best out of posting are at

* If anyone is still reading down this far, here's a question: is it time
for you to back up your Normal template and all your Word settings files?
(This should be on a medium other than the internal hard drive and, if you
also want to protect against theft and fire, stored in a different
building.)
