I'm using Microsoft office excel 2007. I can get the menu toolbar to stay in
place. it keep minimizing which is annoying Especially because it didn't do
this in the beginning. Please can someone advise how I can make it stay
maximised?

Double click on Ribbon tab name or press Ctri-F1 (toogle key) or right clik
on ribbon tab name untick minimize the ribbon.

Just double click on one of the ribbon tabs.

The Control F1 option worked great. Thanks!

CTRL+F1 Works Great. Thanks.

This may be relevant to others but to be exact, I am using excel for Mac 2011.

The top Ribbon kept vanishing for no obvious reason, and the spreadsheet would be welded to the Mac Toolbar. Then I discovered one day that if I use 'Save As' for a spreadsheet and then select the larger 'Save As' window (by toggling using the button to the right of the 'Save As' field), my top ribbon would vanish.

To make it return, select 'Save As' and toggle back to the small 'Save As' window.....as the 'Save As' window reduces, the top ribbon returns and the excel sheet can be moved around the screen again.
