WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, follow these steps:
  1. Turn off full-screen mode: Click Close Full Screen on the Full Screen toolbar, or press ESC.
  2. Turn on full-screen mode: On the View menu, click Full Screen.

MORE INFORMATION

To display as much of your document as possible on the screen, you can switch to full-screen mode. In this mode, Word removes screen elements, such as toolbars and scroll bars.

NOTE: If you want to use menu commands in full-screen mode, rest the pointer at the top of the document window, and the menu bar appears. You may want to set options to specify which screen elements to display in full-screen mode. To set these options, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.
