I am running Excel 2007 and when I start Excel, the toolbar shows up and the
ribbon doesn't. How do I get the ribbon to always show?

If I click on Home, then the ribbon shows up or any other menu item.

Thanks

No problem, I can definitely help you with that! It sounds like the ribbon may be minimized or set to auto-hide. Here's how you can get it to always show:

1. Open Excel 2007.
2. Look for a small arrow pointing up in the top right corner of the window, just to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar. Click on it.
3. If "Minimize the Ribbon" is checked, click on it to uncheck it. This will make the ribbon always visible.
4. If "Auto-hide the Ribbon" is checked, click on it to uncheck it. This will also make the ribbon always visible.

That should do the trick! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.

Right click on Home and remove the checkmark from Minimize the Ribbon.

Right click anywhere on what you are calling the toolbar... the item
"Minimize the Ribbon" should be checked... just click that item and the
Ribbon will remain visible.
