Sven & Linda Thank you both for helping. In the end it was Linda's site that did the trick. I followed the instructions there and now have toolbars.

It is not that Word has not been put in full-screen, but there are no toolbars and (for me and a few of the other Word users here) there doesn't seem to be a way of getting any toolbar back. The bottom toolbar is there. The one that changes page layout.One can use word with the layout that is there and when pressing on the "X"(closing Word) saving the document can be operated. None of the other options are visible or operative. Anybody know what to do? I've done the obvious - F11, esc., restart, right click all over the place - all to no avail.
