Hi Casey Lynn,

First, my pleasure to assist you.

As per your description, please don’t worry, we can work together to narrow down and resolve the situation.

Based on my test result, the “Page Layout” tab is located is between Draw and Formulas about in the center. See image below for your reference:

Meanwhile, may I know does issue happened to specific Excel document?  If the issue happens to all Excel files including a new created one, the issue is more related to the Office app itself or your computer environment. You can first try suggestions below to see the result:

1. Make sure you’ve updated Office to the latest version that some issues can be resolved with such method.
2. If still can’t work, please try torepair an Office application to fix the problem.

In the meantime, I can’t reproduce the issue and to confirm whether this is a bug in a specific version, please provide us the version information. To check version: Open Excel>File>Account>Product Information and capture a full screenshot and share here (Please mask your private message for protecting your private message) and we will be tested on that version and verify the result with you.

I appreciate your understanding and stay safe!!
