Toolbar is gone

[Jess]

I have messed up excel on my computer. The Upper set of toolbars: (under the
home tab are: Paste, copy, text alignment, conditional formatting, format as
table, etc.) is gone. I have to press on the indented tab (home, inset, page
layout, references, etc) to bring a given toolbar out. If a click on a cell
after bringing a toolbar out, the toolbar automatically disappears.

What should I do to restore my previous settings?

If the toolbars are gone, but the Menu bar is still there
(File,Edit,View,Insert....) then:

View > Toolbars and check Standard

I have Excel 2007. I do not see View/Toobars

If the toolbars are gone, but the Menu bar is still there
(File,Edit,View,Insert....) then:

View > Toolbars and check Standard
