Somehow I accidentally pressed the wrong key combination and now the Quick
Access Toolbar (QAT) disappears whenever I click on the document itself with
the mouse and I can no longer work efficiently.

Clicking on any menu brings up the QAT again but I want it to display
permanently.

I've searched
a) "display" menu
b) Word options
c) online help

with no success.
Any ideas how to switch this auto-hide off?

Right-click the ribbon area and deselect Minimize the Ribbon.

You can also press Ctrl+F1 or double-click any of the Ribbon tabs. But note
that the QAT shouldn't be hidden when you minimize the Ribbon even it is
still above the Ribbon. So there may be something else going on here if the
QAT is actually hidden.

I was confused by the description, too, but the subject does indicate that
it is, after all, about the ribbon. Only the OP can tell for certain of
course!
