Excel Mac,office For Mac
We've extended Ribbon customization to Excel 2019 for Mac. You can set preferences for the Quick Access toolbar, and personalize the Ribbon the way you want it. You can change default tabs, or create custom tabs and custom groups to contain your frequently used commands. The following table lists the most current packages for Office for Mac and for the individual applications, such as Word and Excel. All packages are 64-bit only. The build date is listed in parentheses, in a YYMMDD format, after the version number.
I wish I could help, Excel toolbars have been giving me a fit recently too. It sounds like a preference file may be set to read-only for you.
Are all your other preferences resetting too or just toolbars? I'm not sure where the info in stored, try looking around at Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Excel.plist and similar files to see if permissions are correct. You might try running repair permissions (in Disk Utility). I'm not sure if it would help in this case or not. That's the first place I'd check. I have all kinds of fits with Excel toolbars that show up when I switch Spaces. For instance, I have Excel set up to always work on Space 5.
Sometimes I will be working on Excel, switch to Space 4, and the toolbar vanishes. I later find it hiding behind all open windows on Space 4, and I can't click it because when I try to it moves me back to the normal Excel app on Space 5. Turning the toolbars off and back on doesn't help any. I have to quit out of Excel to get the thing back where it belongs.
Long story short, if you are using Spaces that may be the problem. Office and Spaces is a bad combo on my machine. I wish I could help, Excel toolbars have been giving me a fit recently too.

Click to expand.You do have com.microsoft.Excel.plist or maybe com.microsoft.Excel.prefs.plist somewhere. Try adding YourUserFolder and Microsoft to the path: Users/ YourUserFolder/Library/Preferences/ Microsoft That's where it's found in Leopard. I have 10.5.8 Find it, and drag it to the Desktop Fire up Excel A new plist file for Excel will be created in the Microsoft folder (above path) You will now be back to Excel defaults Make a change to a toolbar, and see if it sticks If not, you can always put the file on your Desktop back You can overwrite the default file It's easy to remake it, as you've seen.

Are you sure Excel is the active application when the toolbars are not visible? If it says Excel in the upper left, and they are checked but not visible, that is not normal. But, if it says Finder or something besides Excel up there, then invisible toolbars is normal. The toolbars are supposed to remain in the state you have them when you Quit out of Excel (or Word).
That plist trick is the only simple thing I can think of that might cure this 'forgetfulness' you're seeing. The next step might be to reinstall Excel.if no one else has another simple trick to try.

(I don't think a new User Account or Repairing Permissions, two tricks commonly suggested, apply in this situation.). You beat me to it! Trying a different User Account was going to be my next suggestion. Creating a new Main Administrator Account can be a pain.
(I've never had to.) You have to move your stuff before you can delete the corrupt one. Mac Help has some guidance to offer. But, you might want to create another new account just to be sure that it works there. Two against one gives you much better odds that a permanent switch will solve the problem.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix your account, if it is indeed corrupt. It's just one of those unsolved mysteries, like corrupt plist files. If i understood your problem right - i had the same thing that was killing me all the time: i needed toolbars for highlighting and so on but every time i was opening new work book - i was choosing view -then toolbars-then formatting (although it was already ticked) - so i untick it - then tick it again - so it would appear on the top of my excel sheet. Finally i realized that i need to leave 'formatting' ticked and just tick some grey button in the upper right corner so now every time i open new excel work book the toolbar is on the top of the excel sheet and stays there.

Assumptions:. I have Excel 2016 PC and Mac on the same machine, with the same regional settings, etc. I have the latest Excel 2016 Mac version: 15.16.
I am opening a CSV/Text file with some fields made of long strings (ex: descriptions) where a space might exist at the end, before the delimiting character. On Excel 2016 PC, a space is a space, all lines have the same configuration since each line appears fully on one line, and Excel even converts it directly without any problem. On Excel 2016 Mac, when you start using the Import or 'Text-to-Columns' tool, already at the opening itself of the file, some lines have already been stripped or move partly to the next line which of course, jeopardizes the way to have the same configuration per line.
Thus, there seems to be some interpretation in Excel 2016 for Mac when the file is opened, before its treatment in 'text-to-columns'. It occurs also with lenghty strings and some of the spaces between words. Excel Mac seems to interpret some spaces as 'new line' characters. When I save the same file in 'Text (tab-delimited)' in Windows, Excel 2016 Mac does perfectly the job. The treament of CSV imports is really not the same under both OS types. I recommend making sure your installation is up to date.
Go to the Excel menu and choose About Excel. The current version for support is 15.23. If you're not up to date, go to the Help menu and choose check for updates to launch AutoUpdate.app If you find that 15.23 does not work as you like, please consider joining the Insider Fast update program in AutoUpdate.app. The Fast version gives you a beta version (currently 15.24) and the ability to interact with Microsoft developers in the Insider forum. The Fast builds are not supported, and require a lot of downloading, so they're not for everyone, but if you want to have direct influence on future builds, that's something to think about.
