Greetings Marilyn,
You can actually turn these toolbars off, so it's possible the formatting toolbar got turned
off somehow. To check this and to turn it back on, open up a conversation window, press the
Alt key on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choose Tools, then Show Toolbars and click
Formatting (assuming its not checked).
