Right click anywhere on what you are calling the toolbar... the item
"Minimize the Ribbon" should be checked... just click that item and the
Ribbon will remain visible.

I am running Excel 2007 and when I start Excel, the toolbar shows up and
the ribbon doesn't. How do I get the ribbon to always show?

If I click on Home, then the ribbon shows up or any other menu item.

Thanks
