How to get the toolbar back in Word

Text editor Microsoft Word very functional. In addition to typing and formatting text, here you can create various shapes, graphs and tables, perform a few simple actions with pictures. And where are all the necessary tools for this? That's right, on the Toolbar.

It is located at the top of the page of an open document, and with Word 2007 on it you see not only tabs, but also the main buttons that are used to work. In this article, we will figure out what to do if the toolbar in the Word has disappeared, and instead of the usual view, only the main names are visible at the top. I'll also tell you about the quick access panel, and how to add all the necessary buttons to it.

If the Word document that you opened looks like the screenshot below, then to restore the toolbar, just click on the small arrow pointing down in the upper right corner of the window.

After that, all the usual groups and commands will be visible again. And if you need to leave only a sheet on the page, then you can hide the top ribbon by clicking on the same arrow, only now it points up. This can be used if you need nothing to distract you while working with a document.

If you have Word 2013 or 2016 installed, then to display the toolbar, you need to click on the "Ribbon Display Options" button, which is located to the right of the file name, next to the minimize, full screen and close buttons.

After clicking, a small menu will open. The first item automatically hides the ribbon - the window expands to full screen and it hides, when you move the cursor to the very top, it appears. When you click on the second item, only the menu items "Home", "Insert", "Design" and others will remain. If you choose the latter option, then it will be possible to fix not only the names of the items, but also the commands - in fact, this is what we need.

Now let's figure out what to do if not the control panel itself disappeared, but some tabs on it. Go to "File" at the top and select "Options" from the list on the left.

A window like this will open. Click the Ribbon Customization tab.

For example, I didn’t have the “Developer” tab on the toolbar. So I put a checkmark next to it. To save your changes, click "OK".

After that, the item we need will appear, and you can use all the commands that are in it.

In Word, in addition to the toolbar, there is also a quick access toolbar. You can add icons of those commands that you use most often to it. It is displayed either below or above the ribbon. By default, it has three buttons: save, cancel or redo.

To customize it for yourself, click on the little black arrow pointing down and select "More Commands" from the list.

Look for the desired command in the list, select it with a mouse click, and then click "Add".

Everything that will be in the area on the right will also appear in the quick access toolbar.

If necessary, all items can be arranged in a suitable order for you. To do this, select one and change its position using the up/down arrows on the right. In order for the changes made in Word to be saved for all other files, select "For all documents" in the upper field. When you're done, save by clicking OK.

Removal occurs in a similar way. Open a familiar window, select an unnecessary command and click "Delete". Save by clicking on "OK".

That's all. Now you know not only how to return back hidden panel tools, but also how to customize it and the Quick Access Toolbar in Word.

IN Microsoft program Word toolbar disappeared? What to do and how to get access to all those tools without which working with documents is simply impossible? The main thing is not to panic, as it disappeared, it will return, especially since finding this loss is quite simple.

As they say, everything that is not done is for the best, so thanks to the mysterious disappearance of the quick access bar, you can learn not only how to return it, but also how to customize the elements that appear on it. So let's get started.

If you are using Word 2012 and higher, you only need to press one button to return the toolbar. It is located in the upper right part of the program window and looks like an upward arrow located in a rectangle.

Press this button once, the disappeared toolbar returns, press again - it disappears again. By the way, sometimes it really needs to be hidden, for example, when you need to completely and completely concentrate on the content of the document, and so that nothing extra is distracting.

This button has three display modes, you can choose the appropriate one just by clicking on it:

• Automatically hide the ribbon;
• Show only tabs;
• Show tabs and commands.

The name of each of these display modes speaks for itself. Choose the one that is most convenient for you while you work.

If you are using MS Word 2003 - 2010, you must perform the following manipulations to enable the toolbar.

1. Open the tab menu "View" and select the item "Toolbars".

2. Check the boxes next to the items that you need to work.

3. Now all of them will be displayed on the quick access toolbar as individual tabs and/or instrument groups.

Enabling Individual Toolbar Items

It also happens that “disappears” (is hidden, as we have already figured out) not the entire toolbar, but its individual elements. Or, for example, the user simply cannot find any tool, or even an entire tab. In this case, you need to enable (configure) the display of these same tabs on the Quick Access Toolbar. You can do this in the section "Parameters".

1. Open a tab "File" on the Quick Access Toolbar and navigate to "Parameters".

Note: IN early versions Word instead of button "File" there is a button "MS office".

2. In the window that appears, go to the section "Customize Ribbon".

3. In the Main Tabs window, check the boxes next to the tabs you need.

Advice: By clicking on the plus sign next to the tab name, you will see lists of tool groups that these tabs contain. Expanding the "pluses" of these items, you will see a list of tools presented in groups.

4. Now go to the section "Quick Access Toolbar".

5. Section "Select commands from" select item "All Teams".

6. Go through the list below, finding the necessary tool there, click on it and click the button "Add" between windows.

7. Repeat the same step for all other tools that you want to add to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Note: You can also delete unwanted tools by clicking the button "Delete", and sort their order using the arrows located to the right of the second window.

Advice: In section "Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar", located above the second window, you can choose whether your changes will be applied to all documents or only to the current one.

8. To close the window "Parameters" and save your changes, click the button "OK".

Now on the quick access panel (toolbar), only the tabs you need, tool groups and, in fact, the tools themselves will be displayed. By properly configuring this panel, you can noticeably optimize work time resulting in increased productivity.

The article is devoted to customizing the interface elements of Word 2010 - the ribbon and the quick access toolbar. After carefully reading the material of the article, you will be able to customize the interface of the program "for yourself". This is very convenient and will help save time when working with Word 2010 further. Moreover, it is possible to save settings for all documents, as well as for a single one.

Quick Style Preview Setting

With the quick style preview setting, you can see in real time what the selected style will look like, as well as the font, line spacing, animation and text color, theme colors and text selection, and more. This is especially true for the most commonly used Home tab (it contains, for the most part, the above commands). To do this, move the mouse cursor over the desired command button.

For example, we want to see how a snippet of text will look in the Strict style with the theme color Blue. To do this, select the fragment of text we need, and then move the mouse cursor to the section of the ribbon where the style group is located and hover over the “Strict” style button. The selected text section will change its appearance in accordance with the selected style. We do the same with the "Text Colors" button, only before that we open the list of theme colors, and select the desired one. If we need to see another style, for example "Heading 2", we do the same and look at the selected section of text - the picture has changed according to the type of style that we hovered over. To apply a style, click on its button. If you suddenly change your mind, but have already applied a style (fill, theme, etc.), don't be discouraged - just press the key combination Ctrl + Z, or click the "Cancel Input" button on the Quick Access Toolbar.

Figure 1. Quick style preview setting.

Enable/Disable Quick Style:

1. In the "Word Options" window, on the "General" tab, turn on / off the "Dynamic Preview" item.

Figure 2. Enabling dynamic preview in the Word Options window.

Command tooltips on the ribbon

Most of the command buttons found on ribbon tabs have tooltips that tell you about the keyboard shortcut and what the button does. This is very convenient and allows you to quickly learn a number of the most commonly used key combinations in your work. The benefit is expressed in significant time savings.

To enable hints, do the following:

1. Open the File tab and click Options.
2. In the Word Options window, on the General tab, in the General Word Options group, in the Tooltip Style column, in the value list, select Show improved tooltips.
3. Then go to the "Advanced" tab and in the "Display" group, check the box next to "Include keyboard shortcuts in tooltips."
4. Press the "Enter" key (on the keyboard), or close the window by clicking "OK".

If you are new to Word 2010, it is recommended that you use the improved tooltips as they give you the most background information. When you hover over a command (group of commands) button, you will see both the short name of the command and its description (as well as keyboard shortcuts if you have done the above).

Adding Command Buttons to the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar

You can add any commands, both to the ribbon and to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Adding more tabs and command buttons to the ribbon

If you are somehow not satisfied with the standard set of commands (groups of commands) present on the ribbon by default, or if you want to arrange them in a convenient order, or add missing commands, you can easily do this

You can create your own tab (one or more), on which, arrange the command buttons as you like. Please note that you cannot change the composition and structure of the default tabs at your discretion. But you can create your own tabs, on which you can set almost any command buttons, divided into groups - you determine their composition yourself. But remember that the more command buttons you add, the smaller the command button images become so that they can all fit in a given section of the ribbon (group).

You can add as many command buttons as you like to arbitrary tabs, to the groups you created, but if too many commands are added, then Word 2010 will automatically divide them into subgroups, and you will have access to them already through the drop-down lists, which will subsequently slow down somewhat you a job. Therefore, it is recommended to choose only the commands you most frequently use and form their groups from the thematically or practically the closest commands. That is, if the command button is related to text formatting, it should be placed in a group with the appropriate purpose. From a practical point of view, nothing prevents you from placing command buttons responsible for text style next to command buttons responsible for document structure. It all depends on what you're working with, so precise recommendations are redundant here.

Create a new tab

Adding a new command button tab:

1. Open the File tab and click Options.
2. In the Word Options window, select Ribbon Customization.
3. At the bottom right of the Word Options window, titled Customize the Ribbon and Keyboard Shortcuts, click the New Tab button. Alternatively, in the right column of the Customize Ribbon group, right-click and select New Tab from the context menu that appears.

Note that the Ribbon Customization list (upper right corner) is set to Main Tabs by default. These are the most commonly used tabs that have been brought into the program by this name by the developers as they are the most used by the vast majority of users. You can also select "All Tabs" and "Tool Tabs" as well.

New tab will appear in the list of main tabs with a default name "New tab". Note that a group is automatically created in this tab, with the same name - "A new group". Change the name of the group and tab. To do this, right-click on the tab (group). In the context menu that appears, select "Rename" and enter a name. Notice that next to its name in brackets there is a note "Custom". This is done to make it easier to distinguish standard tabs from custom ones. Click on the tab you created - as you can see, it is completely empty, ie. has only one group on the tape, which is also empty.

Figure 3. A new tab with an empty group of command buttons.

Create a group

Use the context menu (see point 3 in the procedure above), select "Create a group" » ( or click the button with the same name). Create a group and give it a name. In our example, this "Experimental Group 1" to be tab respectively.

Adding Command Buttons

All commands on the tabs are located in groups, so adding command buttons also occurs in separate groups. To do this, in the "Word Options" window, in the "Customize the Ribbon" item, click the "Select commands from" list. Select the item "Frequently used commands" (there are 9 of these items, short description provided in "Type of instruction set to add"). In the command button column, select the one you want and double-click (or click the "Add" button) - the selected command button will appear in "Experimental group 1" tabs "Experimental Tab 1". Do this a few more times, adding the necessary command buttons.

Note that immediately below the "Add" button is the "Delete" button, that is, you can, by doing the same steps, delete the command buttons you do not need. You can use the context menu in the same way.

Move tabs in the list

To move a tab up or down in the list of tabs (on the tab bar it's left or right), you can select it, hold down the left mouse button, drag it up or down, respectively, and then release it.

Now click on the tab you created and see how it has changed. You can see on it all the command buttons added to the group.

Figure 4. New tab with a group filled with command buttons

Hiding command labels

If you use only one group on the tab with a relatively small number of buttons, you get about the same picture as on figure 4. Firstly, it is not very beautiful, and it takes up a lot of space. Secondly, if you are navigating commands by their icons, then you don't need to see their signatures (or command labels) at all. To disable these signatures, you need to do the following:

1. In the right column, under Ribbon Customization, right-click ( "Experimental Tab 1" - "Experimental Group 1"). In the context menu, select the "Hide command labels" checkbox.

Ribbon with an open tab (in our case - "Experimental Tab 1") takes the following form.

Figure 5. Ribbon with the tab open with the "Hide command labels" setting enabled.

1. Click "File" - "Options" - "Customize Ribbon"
2. Click Remove.

Click "OK" or press the "Enter" key.

You can enable the tab by doing the same manipulations, only this time check the box "Show tab". You can also check the box corresponding to the tab you have hidden (Figure 6).

Command sets to add

In the "Word Options" window on the tab "Customize Ribbon" in the column "Select commands from" there is nine command set types:

1. "Frequently used commands" - these are the most frequently used command buttons for tabs and groups;
2. "Commands not on the ribbon" is a list of commands from various windows and menus that are not on the ribbon;
3. "All commands" - a list of all commands of the program "Word 2010";
4. "Macros" - a set of commands for working with macros;
5. "File tab" - a complete list of commands on the "File" tab;
6. "All tabs" - a list of commands presented on all tabs;
7. "Main tabs" - a list of commands presented on the main tabs of the ribbon;
8. "Tools tab" - complete lists commands of the corresponding additional tabs (SmartArt, diagrams, pictures, etc.).
9. "Custom tabs and groups" - a list of commands presented on custom tabs and groups.

By knowing the contents of a particular type of command set, you can create new tabs or add command buttons to existing tabs more efficiently.

Adding More Command Buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar

Adding additional command buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar is similar to the steps for the ribbon.

Scope of Quick Access Toolbar Settings

In Word 2010, it is possible to save settings related to adding command buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar, both for all documents and individually. This is especially useful for authors working on a single large project, such as a book.

If you choose the second option, then the Quick Access Toolbar customization data will only be available when working with this document.
4. Click "OK" or press the "Enter" key.

Conclusion

In my opinion, the advanced customization of the ribbon and quick access toolbar is one of the most successful innovations in Word 2010. Despite the rejection of the ribbon interface by a number of users, we can confidently say that Word 2010 has become better. It has not become more difficult in relation to new users, on the contrary, it has become different. It just became more perfect, more convenient and obviously more attractive.

Unfortunately, absolutely free customization of the ribbon and the quick access panel is not yet available, we can not yet configure everything in “design mode”, simply by dragging the necessary command buttons with the mouse. For example, in a group on the ribbon tab, or on the taskbar - there we still need to use the menu. But, nevertheless, I, for example, have not yet heard of such a deep program with such customization options “for myself”. And in this regard, Word 2010 is a huge step forward for word processor Microsoft. At the moment, he simply has no equal.

Microsoft Word text editor is very functional. In addition to typing and formatting text, here you can create various shapes, graphs and tables, perform a few simple actions with pictures. And where are all the necessary tools for this? That's right, on the Toolbar.

It is located at the top of the page of an open document, and with Word 2007 on it you see not only tabs, but also the main buttons that are used to work. In this article, we will figure out what to do if the toolbar in the Word has disappeared, and instead of the usual view, only the main names are visible at the top. I'll also tell you about the quick access panel, and how to add all the necessary buttons to it.

If the Word document that you opened looks like the screenshot below, then to restore the toolbar, just click on the small arrow pointing down in the upper right corner of the window.

After that, all the usual groups and commands will be visible again. And if you need to leave only a sheet on the page, then you can hide the top ribbon by clicking on the same arrow, only now it points up. This can be used if you need nothing to distract you while working with a document.

If you have Word 2013 or 2016 installed, then to display the toolbar, you need to click on the button "Ribbon Display Options", which is located to the right of the file name, next to the minimize, full screen and close buttons.

After clicking, a small menu will open. The first item automatically hides the ribbon - the window expands to full screen and it hides, when you move the cursor to the very top, it appears. When you click on the second item, only the menu items "Home", "Insert", "Design" and others will remain. If you choose the latter option, then it will be possible to fix not only the names of the items, but also the commands - in fact, this is what we need.

Now let's figure out what to do if not the control panel itself disappeared, but some tabs on it. Go to the top "File" and select "Options" from the list on the left.

A window like this will open. Go to the tab "Customize Ribbon".

For example, I did not have a tab on the toolbar. So I put a checkmark next to it. To save your changes, click "OK".

After that, the item we need will appear, and you can use all the commands that are in it.

In Word, in addition to the toolbar, there is also a quick access toolbar. You can add icons of those commands that you use most often to it. It is displayed either below or above the ribbon. By default, it has three buttons: save, cancel or redo.

To customize it for yourself, click on the little black arrow pointing down and select from the list "Other Teams".

Look for the desired command in the list, select it with a mouse click, and then click "Add".

Everything that will be in the area on the right will also appear in the quick access toolbar.

If necessary, all items can be arranged in a suitable order for you. To do this, select one and change its position using the up/down arrows on the right. To save the changes made in Word to all other files, in the top field, select "For all documents". When you're done, save by clicking OK.

Removal occurs in a similar way. Open a familiar window, select an unnecessary command and click "Delete". Save by clicking on "OK".

That's all. Now you know not only how to get the hidden toolbar back, but also how to customize it and the quick access toolbar in Word.

Almost all users who have ever opened the Word editor remember the program workspace: at the top is the control panel with various sections and functions. After analyzing the sequence of user actions, the developers grouped the commands into separate blocks, thereby facilitating the search for the required option. In this article, we will tell you how to pin the toolbar in Word if it is "hidden" under the document.

Hidden tape mode is especially convenient to use on netbooks, laptops with a small screen. It allows you to increase the overview of the page and not be distracted by unnecessary details.

Proven ways:

• Method number 1: you can fix the toolbar in Word by double-clicking on the panel, in the same way you can display it again.
• Method number 2: near the quick access panel responsible for saving the document and undoing actions, you will see an arrow, by clicking on which you will open the context list. Putting a checkmark next to the Collapse Ribbon command will hide the panel, and removing it will show it again.
• Method number 3: right-clicking on any empty field will bring up a short list of commands, among which there will be “Collapse Ribbon”.

The state of the ribbon is retained even after the document is closed, regardless of which of the methods listed above you used. In the minimized position, the menu will open commands when you hover the mouse over the required tab, and then “hide” the commands again.
