Upon doing this... the formatting pallete is now visible, however it is super small, and doesn't show any of the menu info. Like probably only 100 pixels by 100 pixels or something... is there any way to just return the formatting palette to its default settings or to resize it using the VB code? PLEASE HELP!!! I need the formatting palette.
 
Try

Commandbars("formatting palette").Left = 300
Commandbars("formatting palette").Top = 300

or higher or lower values.
 
Delete your Word plist file (surely that's where your toolbar size information is stored), and see if things revert to default.

I can't for the life of me figure out how you managed to get the palette off the screen though.
 
thaaank you... deleting the plist did it.
now I have no idea how i got the formatting palette of the screen either... I was using word, then i closed my powerbook and took it back to my dorm room and instead of having the formatting palette at the bottom of the screen it was just gone... then i realized it was below the screen. Just one more question... is deleting the .plist file for word problem? will this hurt word or something or make it not function properly?
