一段时间以来，Google Docs已成为Microsoft Word的重要竞争对手。虽然它可能不像MS Word那样拥有丰富的功能，但它在这里和那里都有一些让它与众不同的东西。积极使用Google Docs的用户必须意识到其工具栏(Toolbar)所起的重要作用。一些用户，尤其是那些热衷于使用Google 文档(Google Docs)的用户，可能会注意到工具栏有时会丢失(Toolbar can sometimes go missing)。今天，我们将向我们的用户展示如何恢复Google 文档(Google Docs)中缺失的菜单工具栏(Menu Toolbar)。
如何在Google Docs中启用缺少的(Google Docs)菜单工具栏(Menu Toolbar)
如果您不主动使用Google 文档(Google Docs)，您甚至可能不会注意到工具栏(Toolbar)已经消失，但这对于那些使用 Google 文档的人来说可能是一个令人担忧的问题。幸运的是，这个问题背后的大多数原因都涉及管理不善的设置，这些设置很容易恢复。
- 尝试启用紧凑控件
- 使用键盘快捷键
- 编辑您的权限设置
1]尝试(Try)启用紧凑控件(Compact Controls)
您应该尝试做的第一件事是启用Compact Controls。现在，这些可能不是每个人都可以使用，如果你也是这种情况，那么建议你继续阅读这篇文章。以下是启用紧凑控件的方法：(Compact Controls)
打开Google文档（或Google 表格(Sheets)），然后从顶部可用的选项卡中单击查看(View)。然后，从下拉列表中选择Compact Controls以启用它们。(Compact Controls)
如果您最后没有紧凑控件(Compact Controls)，您可以尝试我们在下面提到的其他解决方法之一。
2]使用键盘快捷键
您可能错误地通过键盘快捷键或编辑环境中可用的快捷键关闭了工具栏。(Toolbar)无论哪种方式，为了重新启用Toolbar，请再次使用这些快捷方式。
在Google Docs中隐藏工具栏(Toolbar)的键盘快捷键是Ctrl + Shift + F，所以按下它应该可以完成这项工作。
此外，还有一个选项可以立即关闭工具栏(Toolbar)。在您正在处理的文档的右上角，有一个向上的箭头，可以单击它来启用或禁用工具栏(Toolbar)。如果该箭头朝下，则意味着Toolbar已被关闭，按下它会使箭头朝上并带回Toolbar。
第三种选择是同时按下 Fn 和Esc键。（对于某些用户，只需按Esc键也可以。）
3]编辑您的权限设置
到目前为止(Till)，我们已经讨论了当工具栏丢失时可以做什么，但有些人也可能会在(Toolbar)Google Docs中遇到一个灰色的工具栏。灰色选项通常意味着用户无权使用它，在这里也意味着相同。在这种情况下，您应该向文档所有者请求访问权限以在文档中进行编辑。请按照以下步骤执行此操作：
在您的计算机上打开Google Docs文档。(Google Docs)如果您只被授予查看文档的权限，您会在右上角找到一个选项，上面写着“请求编辑访问权限”。然后这将打开一个框，您可以在其中写信给文档的所有者并寻求许可。然后您的请求将被传递，您可以被授予使用工具栏(Toolbar)的访问权限。
另一方面，如果您正在共享文档并且不希望其他人成为此问题的接收端，则应授予该特定人员编辑权限。您可以通过执行以下操作来完成：
打开要共享的文档，然后单击屏幕右上角的共享选项。(Share)这将打开与人员和组共享(Share)框。从此处的获取链接(Get Link)部分，单击更改(Change)。访问带有链接区域的任何人，然后单击它旁边的查看器(Viewer)下拉菜单。选择编辑器(Select Editor)。现在，任何拥有该文档链接的人都可以对其进行编辑。单击完成(Done)保存这些设置。
在我个人看来，将其设置为参数是不安全的，因为链接放错位置很常见，因此您的文档的隐私可能会受到损害。如果您想与特定的人共享文档，您可以创建一组已知的电子邮件ID(IDs)，在其中文档将有权进行编辑。
在与人员和组共享(Share)字段下，只需添加要公开文档的所有人的电子邮件地址，然后单击完成(Done)保存。
我们希望本指南能够阐明导致Google 文档(Google Docs)工具栏消失的原因以及如何将其恢复。

How to get back the missing Menu Toolbar in Google Docs
Over some time now, Google Docs has left its imprint as a considerable competitor to Microsoft Word. While it may not be as stocked with features as MS Word, it has a few things here and there that set it apart. Users who actively use Google Docs must be aware of the important role that its Toolbar plays. Some users, especially those who use Google Docs avidly, may notice that the Toolbar can sometimes go missing. Today, we will be showing our users how they can bring back the missing Menu Toolbar in Google Docs.
How to enable missing Menu Toolbar in Google Docs
It’s possible for you to not even notice that the Toolbar is gone if you don’t use Google Docs actively, but this can be a worrisome issue for those who do. Fortunately for those, most causes behind this issue involve mismanaged settings which can easily be reverted back.
- Try enabling the Compact Controls
- Use the keyboard shortcut
- Edit your permissions settings
1] Try enabling the Compact Controls
The first thing you should try doing is enabling the Compact Controls. Now, these may not be available at everyone’s end and if that is the case with you too, then you are recommended to continue reading the article. Here’s how the Compact Controls can be enabled:
Open Google docs (or Google Sheets) and from the tabs available up top, click on View. Then, select Compact Controls from the drop-down to enable them.
If the Compact Controls are absent at your end, you can try one of the other workarounds we’ve mentioned below.
2] Use the keyboard shortcut
It is possible that you might have mistakenly toggled the Toolbar off by the keyboard shortcut or the one available in the editing environment. Either way, in order to re-enable the Toolbar, use those shortcuts again.
The keyboard shortcut that hides the Toolbar in Google Docs is Ctrl + Shift + F, so pressing that back should do the job.
Also, there is an option that shuts the Toolbar off instantly. On the upper right side of the document you’re working on, there’s an upward-facing arrow that can be clicked on to enable or disable the Toolbar. If that arrow faces downward, it means that the Toolbar has been toggled off, and pressing it will both make the arrow face upwards and bring back the Toolbar.
A third alternative for you is to press the Fn and Esc keys together. (With some users, simply pressing the Esc key has worked too.)
3] Edit your permissions settings
Till now, we’ve discussed what one can do when the Toolbar is missing, but it is also possible for some to come across a greyed-out toolbar in Google Docs. Greyed-out options conventionally mean that the user doesn’t have access to use it, and it means the same here. In such a case, you should request access to make edits in the document from the document’s owner. Follow the steps below to do so:
Open a Google Docs document on your computer. If you have only been granted permission to view the document, you will find an option on the top-right corner that says ‘Request Edit Access’. This will then open a box where you can write to the document’s owner and seek permission. Your request will then be passed on and you can be granted access to make use of the Toolbar.
On the other hand, if you are sharing a document and don’t want someone else to be on the receiving end of this issue, you should grant edit permissions to that particular person. You can get so done by doing the following:
Open the document that you want to share and click on the Share option on the top-right corner of the screen. This will open the Share with people and groups box. From the Get Link section here, click on Change. Visit the Anyone with the link area and click on the Viewer drop-down next to it. Select Editor. Now, anyone who has a link to that document will be able to make edits to it. Save these settings by clicking Done.
In my personal opinion, it isn’t safe to set this up as the parameter, since it’s pretty common for a link to get misplaced, and thus your document’s privacy may be compromised. If you want to share the document with a particular person(s), you can create a group of known email IDs among which the document will have grants to make edits.
Under the Share with people and groups field, simply add the email address of all the people you want to make the document public with and click on Done to save it.
We hope that this guide was able to clarify what it is that causes the toolbar on Google Docs to disappear and how you can bring it back.
