While working on a spreadsheet, I must have accidentally clicked something
because the message bar disappeared from the top of the sheet. When I went
to View: Show/Hide, Message Bar was not available.

Can someone help me restore the bar to the top of my spreadsheet?

Thanks,

hi
i am unaware of any message bar at the top of the sheet so could you
possibly mean the formula bar?
on the menu bar....viewformula bar.

ViewShow/Hide is only to hide or unhide the worksheet.

What do you consider as the "message bar"?

Maybe the Formula Bar?

ViewFormula Bar toggles on and off.

Thank you for your responses.

I am working in Excel 2007. I somehow clicked something that removed the
main toolbar from the top (the one that shows the icons under Home, Insert,
etc. while I am working in the program). When I researched how to restore
this bar which I discovered is called the Message Bar, I found that I needed
to click View: Show/Hide: Message Bar. Unfortunately, the check box for
Message Bar is not available. The Formula Bar, however, is available and I
have clicked it so it is showing.

Could anyone tell me why this option is not available? And, how do I restore
it? It saves me so much time to have the icons present when I am working in
Excel.

Thanks,
Erin
