Sorry, that didn't work - it was a good try though. Any other
suggestions?
Go to Apple Menu> System Preferences> Display & set your monitor resolution
up several notches. That may cause the errant bar to become visible so you
can move it to the middle of the screen. Assuming it works, reset your
resolution to the normal mode & you should still be able to manipulate the
bar as desired.
If that _still_ doesn't produce the pesky critter, try launching Word while
pressing the Shift key - Does the Formatting Toolbar appear? That will
provide some insight on how to proceed. Post back with your results.

Sorry - I meant PowerPoint - just came from another group & the cranial
transmission hadn't yet switched gears:-)

I've tried both ideas; no go. I tried launching Word with the shift
key held as you suggested and saw the formatting toolbars then I tried
to do this with PowerPoint where my problem is and could not see the
formatting toolbar (just the standard and the formatting palette.) Do
you think I should uninstall Microsoft Office and then reinstall?
PS - thanks for all your suggestions on this matter
Go to the page shown below & follow the instructions for Damaged Preferences
& Settings - except that you don't need to be concerned about the Font Cache
in this situation.

O.K. It sounds like a good idea but I can't "see" the pages you linked
re: Damaged Preferences and Settings. Could you resend them to me
please? Thank you

Perhaps you'll be better able to see it this time!

I referred you to the page because of the location & procedural information.
If there's no problem with other Office apps there's probably no reason to
test the file that contains "Office" either - unless the fix still fails.

This little bit of VBA should sort it out for you. It'll move the formatting
bar to someplace visible (if not, try slightly higher numbers):
Sub ComeBackComeBack()
With Application.CommandBars("Formatting")
.Position = msoBarFloating
.Left = 100
.Top = 100
End With
End Sub
If you don't quite know what to do with VBA code, have a look here:

The instrux are a bit WindowsCentric but should get you there.
