Office 365 ProPlus is being renamed to Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. For more information about this change, read this blog post.

None were hidden, so I hid, then un-hid them. There was no change in behavior, but in testing again I also noticed that the Open/Save dialog in Notepad does allow me to expand Favorites and see the content there. Other applications continue to make the content of Favorites inaccessible: Adobe Acrobat, Word, Excel, etc. Nov 08, 2013  And Word files saved in.docx or any other Office files won’t show up in the list. Try the following and verify the result: 1) Save a test Word document in Word 97-2003 Document (.doc) format on desktop. 2) Now open Word and use Save as option and try saving it on desktop by clicking on desktop shortcut under the favorites and verify the result. After updating Microsoft Office I noticed that all my open and 'save as' dialogs were now missing any of my favorites. In your Mac look in your home directory for the Library folder, (it’s hidden by default, so either enable viewing of hidden files, or press the Alt Key). Inside that folder there is another folder called preferences, and in there a file called com.apple.finder.plist take a copy of this file then delete it.

Symptoms

While using Word for Mac one or more Toolbars are missing and cannot be added.

Cause

This behavior can be caused by one of these things:

Microsoft Word For Mac Free

• The oval button in the upper-right corner of the document was clicked. This button 'toggles' display of toolbars on and off.
• There is an issue with the Normal template in Word.
• The toolbars or menus are modified.

Resolution

To resolve this problem, try the following methods.

Method 1: Make sure that tool bar display is not turned off

1. In the upper-right corner of the window click the oval button.

   Note

   When this button is clicked, it hides all the toolbars. A second click causes the toolbars to be displayed.

2. If the toolbars reappear, quit, and then restart Word to make sure that the appropriate toolbars are displayed.

If Method 1 did not resolve the problem, try Method 2.
