Lost my formatting palette!

[erik Powers]

I don't know how this happened but my formatting palette is located
off the edge of my screen. I try deactivating and the activating it
again, but the animation shows it popping up off screen. My display
resolution is already as high as it will go. How do I recover it?

If that URL doesn't work, here's the script in full:

tell application "Microsoft Word"
tell command bar "formatting palette"
set visible to true
set {top, left position} to {100, 700}
end tell
end tell
