standard toolbar does not show up when starting up

[bernie Wilker]

When I launch excel mac:2008, even though the standard toolbar is checked, it
does not show up unless I go into Toolbars/Standard, uncheck the standard
then recheck the link. Any help?

I had the same problem and found this answer on another site and it worked.

Try clicking the toolbar control button (the white chicklet at the upper right of the window). XL08 windows conform to the Apple standard for hiding toolbars. Click twice if the first time doesn't work.
Once the toolbars are showing, close XL to save the preference.
