HOW TO RECOVER MISSING TOOLBARS
Issue:
A toolbar has disappeared. The Window menu shows a check mark in front of
the menu item, but it is not visible.
Reason:
This occurs when a toolbar has been moved off the edge of the screen, or
the settings file that remembers the status of the toolbar has become
corrupt.
Solution:
There are several things that can be done to restore the missing toolbar.
To recover, try these three options (in the order listed):
1. Look around the edge of the screen for a small piece of the edge of a
toolbar. If found, try dragging it back to the desired location.
2. Delete the Toolbar settings file. Exit or Quit FreeHand prior to trying
this option.

My toolbars in Freehand MX disappeared and I can't seem to get them
back. I tried uninstalling thenre-installing and trashing all Freehand
files, and still no luck. Anyone familiar with this?
