I am sure someone here can provide a macro to make your toolbar visible; it
isn't really that difficult for those who are adept at macros, but I am not.
In any case, you can do anything through the Format Picture dialog that you
can do with the toolbar.

Thanks again, Suzanne. I think I've figured out several possible
workarounds for this, of which i need use only the first. I have a free
shareware program called IrfanView which flips & saves images for me,
which is what i had been relying on the toolbar to do, and anyway the
dialog box still works, so i can still change sizes in Word. Think MS
Paint may flip images too... Being paranoid, i had considered uninstalling
& reinstalling Word, or since i must finally convert my file to PDF & do
the finishing touches in Acrobat, I had considered doing the photo work
there. But with a bit of luck none of this may be necessary... Thanks
again!

VBA has nothing (much) to do with barcodes. VBA is Visual Basic for
Applications, the language used for macros.

Thanks for your reply, Suzanne! No, I am not using dual monitors. I
looked up VBA in Help & find it has to do with Barcodes, which I
associate with those black thingies on all purchased products, unless it
also has something to do with toolbars... From Help I have DLed
something called BarcodeFunctions.zip, & once i figure out where it DLed
to, I'll try to figure out more.... If anyone else knows something, I'd
love to hear it...

I'm hoping the toolbar will reappear as mysteriously as it vanished...

all the best to everyone!

Are you by any chance using dual monitors? Sometimes toolbars wander
offscreen. It may require some VBA (which someone else will have to
supply) to get it back where it belongs.

Suzanne or anyone, HELP!

My picture toolbar, which permits me to do so many things seems to
have disappeared in WORD 2003. When i go to View/ Toolbars, it is
still checked, but i just can't make it pop up, & i need it
desperately. When i right click on my documen, i get a box that allows
me among other things to "Hide Toolbar," & if i click it, it switches
to "Show Toolbar," but if i click that, nothing pops up.... Seems to
me there must be a simple explanation for this...

all the best!
