If the vertical bar to the left of the address text input box is not present,
right click on an empty area on the toolbar and uncheck "Lock the toolbars".
Place your pointer at the left side of the address text input box on the
vertical bar so it becomes a double pointer.
Press/hold down the left mouse button and it will change to another style of
double pointer.
Drag the address bar to where you want it and release the mouse button.
If you have more than one toolbar on the same line, you may need to adjust the
length of the toolbar(s) or move one or more to another position via the
toolbars vertical bar.

You might want to know that when you install SP3, no more address bar.

You might want to know that when you install SP3, no more address bar.

Although that's true, by default, it's easy to get it back. Here's one
way:

There's no installer, but there are instruction on a txt file in the
zip archive.

Sorry, I think you're a bit confused. I can get to your question after
I go over some basics first to help you get faster answers in the
future.

First off, there is no such thing as Windows Office. The manufacturer
of this software is Micro$oft, and you actually named two completely
different products of MS as if they were one. To clarify, MS Office is
an application suite that includes programs like Word, Excel and Outlook
amongst a slew of others. There are different packages of MS Office,
including different years. One common misconception came out when MS
produced MS Office XP (basically MS Office 2002), and people got that
confused with the new Operating System Windows XP (Home & Professional).
To further confuse people, there's a version of MS Office called MS
Office Professional Edition. Nevertheless, Micro$oft Office is not to
be confused with Microsoft Windows.

MS Windows refers to your operating system, which does NOT include ANY
package of MS Office unless bundled with a retail computer company such
as Dell or HP. Your operating system is basically the software backbone
of your computer, and includes basic applications such as Internet
Explorer, which brings us to your question.

In which program are you having issues with your address bar? Internet
Explorer? Or is this address bar located within' some other sort of
program/toolbar? Are you sure it's an address bar, as in one that you
can type a website into?

Let me educate you. Assuming you don't have SP3, right click on your
task bar/Tool bars and voila!, you'll see "Address". The OP is referring
to that address bar.
