How to turn on the default toolbar in microsoft word

Turn On the Default Toolbars

On the View menu, point to Toolbars. Note whether any toolbars are selected. If none of the toolbars is selected, select those that you want. To do this, click the toolbar name. Repeat this procedure for each toolbar that you want to be displayed. The toolbars selected by default are the Standard and Formatting toolbars, as well as the Task Pane.

Note If you cannot see the menu bar, press ALT+V to display the View menu, and then press T to display the Toolbar menu.

Quit and restart Word. If Word starts correctly, you have resolved the issue. The issue is that the default toolbars and menu bar were turned off when you quit Word, and Word retained those settings.
