The status bar at the bottom of Word2021 could not be displayed normally, which was confirmed by the technical staff because of macros, which seriously affected my use of office. I hope it can be resolved.
Hi,
Did this appear in all Word documents?
How did you confirm this is related to macro in Word?
I suggest you go to File- Options- Trust Center- Trust Center Settings- Macro Settings- Select Disable all macros with notification and restart Word to see if the status bar displays correctly.
Then you can also try to reset the Word Normal template, it includes default styles and customizations that determine the basic look of a document.
Go to the file location C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates- Rename/move the Normal.dotm- then restart Word, it will create a new normal.dotm file and reset Word customization settings.

Hello, i am very glad that you can reply me and give me the solution. i am clear sure that all Word have this problem. On Saturday i contacted with the technologist of Microsoft. He told me that i met the problem because of macros. i did the step which you give me first. But it doesn't work.
Does the problem remain if you start Word in application Safe mode? If not, continue troubleshooting COM and Startup add-ins, as discussed in the article at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/word/issues-when-start-or-use-word.
Yes, I tried. The problem still remains in Safe mode. I would try the next solution when I am free. Thank you for your help.

Since the problem remains in application Safe mode (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-office-apps-in-safe-mode-on-a-windows-pc-dedf944a-5f4b-4afb-a453-528af4f7ac72), the underlying cause is probably not an add-in. Try an Office repair; for more information, have a look at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/repair-an-office-application-7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b.
