    also on the top right hand corner (for OSX and lower) there is a a button  that if click will either turn toolbars on and off  supposed to be full screen mode. But doesn't quite work that way.

    see: http://www.screencast.com/t/PefIkvGNOd

    If its in full screen mode some of words menus will disappear.

    This didn't work for me - I don't see a button. I think this refers to the lozenge or bubble that used to be there - gone since OS X Lion 10.7.

    The Tools menu should be on the Menu Bar located at the top of your screen. The Menu Bar would also contain menu items such as File, Edit, View, etc.

    If your Menu Bar is not showing the Tools menu then try a Control + Click on the Standard toolbar and choose the Reset Toolbar option. Maybe it will bring it back.  But if it doesn't you might have to close out of Word, make sure it's not running and then navigate to your Normal template and rename it to "oldNormal.dotm" and then restart Word.

    The template is located here: ~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/Normal.dotm (~ represents your user folder name)

    Hope this helps

    Thank you so much. This helped. Resetting the toolbar didn't work, but renaming the Normal.dotm did.
