PowerPoint 2008 Standard Toolbar Disappeared

[LolaTangle]

I just started using PowerPoint 2008 and am actually writing a book on
it, so I took a screen shot the first time I opened the program...at
which point I had a Standard toolbar.

As far as I know I haven't changed any of the settings, but now my
Standard Toolbar has disappeared. When I go into View>Toolbars, it
appears as though the Standard Toolbar is selected, but I still don't
see anything. When I deselect it there is no difference. None of my
other toolbars show up either, but the palettes do.

I am working on a 24" monitor and I've got the Powerpoint window
taking up the entire screen, so I don't think it has anything do with
my window being too small. Also I've tried resetting the toolbar by
going into View>Customize Toolbars & Menus, but still nothing.

Any suggestions?

Click the little capsular button in the upper right corner of the window
near the end of the Title Bar... And in your book don't forget to give Apple
an acknowledgement for one of the most inconspicuous, undocumented
"features" ever imposed in the Mac UI.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Production has been at a standstill all day because of this--I can't
believe it was that easy. Thank youuuuuu!
