I have inadvertently lost/hidden both the tool/menu bars on my Thunderbird email 'write'/compose screen, i.e., those showing

File Edit View Insert Format Options Tools Help

Send Spelling Attach Security Save

In addition to the text field, the 'write' screen displays only From:, To:, and Subject: lines along with one menu line containing a few formatting tools.

PD Sorry I tried to add two image-capture photos but they would not come up

File-Edit-View is on the menu bar. The alt key or F10 reveals hidden menu bars. When you the the menu bar displayed go to View-Toolbars and turn your toolbars back on.

Thanx much--the F10 revealed menu options that were not there before!

F10 has revealed hidden menu bars in most applications since the beginning of Windows.

All I want is to restore my text editing toolbar to display bold, colour, font, etc. None of the options I have read shows me how to do this.

That is the Format toolbar. It is also listed under View-Toolbars if you are composing in HTML. If you are composing in Plain Text there is no reason for a format toolbar so the option is not there.
