Hi Kathy!

I checked my Word 2000 help, which is probably similar to Word 2003, and here is what it said about toolbars that you can do if you can see the screen or get sighted help.

Move a toolbar
Drag the move handle
Left edge of a docked toolbar
 on a
docked toolbar
, or drag the title bar on a
floating toolbar
to another location. If you drag the toolbar to the edge of the program window or
to a location beside another docked toolbar, it becomes a docked toolbar.
Note
When you move a docked toolbar, the move might affect the location and size of
other toolbars in the same row.

Or, since you say that your tool bar used to not get in the way when you first installed Word, you might want to try uninstalling Word, restarting your machine, and then reinstalling Word.

No, Jamie, I never heard a thing about it, but thanks for asking. I figured out what I need to do. It's time consuming and aggravating, but I just route the JAWS cursor to the PC cursor, find where "menu bar" starts, and double click the left mouse key. Then I change back to the PC cursor, and until I close the file or use some other thing like Find/Replace, it stays out of the way. I don't know what caused them to start appearing in the middle of the page, but it's awfully inconvenient when proof reading. I think it might possibly be something I messed up when trying to do something else, which happened a lot when I changed Word versions. It didn't do it when I first installed this version of MS Word, but it has been happening for quite a while now. I'm using Word 2003, but it was a discounted version available to students and teachers. (I used to be a teacher.) They went on in the ad about the convenience of the research tool, but I haven't really been able to use the thesaurus satisfactorily (although I can use it; it's just much more time consuming and frustration building for me) since I changed. (I also changed from Windows 98 to Windows XP when I changed Word versions because my old computer died and couldn't be revived.

Kathy did you ever get an answer to your question? I've never seen this happen before.
