I've recently started porting software to a new rMBP (w/ Mountain Lion OS). MS office 2011 installed fine from original installation disk, and then the current updates. Everything seems fine EXCEPT that the MS Word Menu Bar is missing several header items: What I see: Word Insert Format Font Tools Table Window Help What's supposed to be there: Word Edit View Insert Format Font Tools Table Window Help What happened to 'Edit' and 'View'? I can't seem to find a clear answer on the web. I'd very much appreciate any help I can get on this.Problems Reply- Never mind; answered my own question. FYI - I eventually managed to find the Customize Toolbars and Menus palette (control clicking on a tool bar) and simply reset the Menu Bar from there. Confirm that you have fully updated Office 14.2.3 since installing.

With Mac OS X El Capitan, you can hide the menu bar as you like. Read this guide to learn how to do that. Now we will show you how to hide and show the menu bar on your Mac.
Once updated, have you run Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions then Restarted your Mac? Never mind; answered my own question.

I'm new to mac and I really like the way you can assign a window to be it's own desktop via fullscreening. However, I have an issue with the default way the menubar works in fullscreen. I often move my cursor to the top of the screen to click on my tabs in my browsers and editors and accidentally trigger the menubar obscuring my tabs. Other times I'd like the menubar to be available at a glance rather than having to trigger it by mousing up. Is there some setting or application that will force the menubar to show at all times for fullscreened windows? It appears I'm not the first to have this issue, but the solutions in didn't work for me and based on the comment for the top answer it won't work for anyone.
If there is no way to do this can anyone give me a hint where I can get started writing an application to do this? PS: Please don't suggest that I simply hold alt when clicking the fullscreen green button or anything else like just resize the window to fill the screen'. This doesn't solve my issue because it strips away many of the advantages of fullscreening. If you like the isolation of multiple desktops and being able to swipe between them etc, have you considered just adding the 'maximised' version of the application to a new space/desktop?
As 'full screen' is 'full screen' its not 'full screen minus a bit' otherwise many people could get frustrated that full screen is not full screen:P - You say you lose advantages of fullscreening, maybe if you could elaborate on these advantages you want then would be easier suggest things – Mar 13 '17 at 11:26. In addition to what others have said (using the ALT/OPTION + CLICK green maximize button), to designate a Desktop Space for one app, you can do a:. 3 (or 4) Finger Swipe Up to bring up the spaces menu at the top of the screen. Bring your mouse over the top right and the (+) icon should expand and let you add a new space. Drag that space in whichever order you desire (first, second, or last, etc.). Now you can drag your desired app into that space, and (if it's not already.) you can maximize it with the usual keyboard shortcut trick. It's worth noting that although ALT/OPTION + CLICK-ing the green maximize button does expand the window to full height, you probably want to combine it as SHIFT + ALT/OPTION + CLICK to expand to full width and height of your screen.

Happy Spacing & Maximizing!
