How can I switch off auto-hide ribbon (Quick Access Toolbar)

From: ICTag on 15 Mar 2010 16:03 Apologies for the wild goose chase. I'm using the german version of word so I didn't know the correct terminology and thought QAT and ribbon were the same (wouldn't it be great if you could switch language in the online help language similar to wikipedia). Anyway, you answered my questions but this is what also found: 1. When you rh-click on a menu item or on the menu bar to the rhs of the menu items theres a check-box at the bottom of the list that you need to disable. (Yup - equivalent to the ctrl F1 toggle). 2. You can do this too by rh-clicking on an item within the ribbon. 3. When you click on an empty space on the ribbon (to the right of the boxes) you do *not* see the context menu. I'd tried this and failed and it didn't occur to me you have to click on item itself not the empty space - now I know :-) So many thanks - the problem is solved and I hope this hopes someone else, too. 2.

However, you can right-click the empty space to the right of the labels (Home, Insert, Page Layout, etc. in English) and get the context menu. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > > So many thanks - the problem is solved and I hope this hopes someone else, > too. > > > > 2. > "Stefan Blom" wrote: > >> I was confused by the description, too, but the subject does indicate >> that >> it is, after all, about the ribbon.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 15 Mar 2010 18:33 I also discovered this about the QAT when I moved it above the Ribbon to see if that made any difference. I had a hard time moving it back because I wasn't right-clicking in just the right place! -- Suzanne S.
