[Solved] Lost my bottom toolbars

Post by ToniMassari »

Hello and thank you for reading this and any help you can offer.

I have been using Office Draw for years and love it, but recently, after the last update, I appear to have lost the toolbars at the bottom of the screen and I don't know how to restore them

Anyone have any idea how I can do that?

Many thanks!

T.

/View /Status bar restores the usual bottom toolbar. View Toolbars allows individual toolbars be turned on/off; whether this allows positioning to the bottom I cannot say.

Thank you so much for replying, I have tried but the Status Toolbar was already ticked, I tried unchecking it and then checking it again, but the bottom remains blank, only the colour bar in the bottom of the editing area remains

Ah! you re using Draw. Try /View /Toolbars : Drawing.

Yes, and most of the ones I use are there, except the bottom ones, that have a range of tools

Make sure /View /Toolbars : Drawing is checked; that is the usual bottom toolbar in Draw.
