I loved the access to the formatting toolbar (not the formatting

and poof; its gone. Even when I go under view and re-click the
formatting toolbar I can't seem to get it back.
I really miss my font color, sizing, etc. Any suggestions?

This little bit of VBA should sort it out for you. It'll move the formatting
bar to someplace visible (if not, try slightly higher numbers):

Sub ComeBackComeBack()
With Application.CommandBars("Formatting")
.Position = msoBarFloating
.Left = 100
.Top = 100
End With
End Sub

If you don't quite know what to do with VBA code, have a look here:

The instrux are a bit WindowsCentric but should get you there.
