I have MS Word 2003; the toolbar at the bottom of the screen with the page number, section, line, column, language, etc. has disappeared and the screen does not scroll down automatically. What can I do?

Check Options menu Sep 18, 2008

Hello Marcelle,

Go to Tools, Options. Under the field "Show" there are several options, make sure "Status bar" and "Vertical bar" (or something like that, I have the Spanish version) are marked.

Hope this helps.

Andrés

try this: Sep 18, 2008

Go to Tools ---> options. Click on the "view tab" and make sure there's a tick next to "status bar".

That should bring up the page number, etc. again. Not sure about the 'scrolling' problem, maybe that will be solved too.

HTH,

jp.

Full page or variable-size window? Sep 19, 2008

I usually have Word set to variable-size window (single box in upper right corner) expanded out to cover the full screen, but in this setting I cannot see the bottom bar with page nos. etc. If I switch to full page (double box), I can see them.
