I've lost it before too, and I can NEVER remember how to get it back.
I guess I am not much help, but I sympathize.
All I can say is that I am pretty sure it is not a tool bar, and I feel like it might be a keyboard shortcut that fixes it.

I tried to customize the formatting toolbar and when the customize window comes up, I can see the text box, but I can't select it in the window. DAMN!

In my experience, this usually means that you've accidentally repositioned one of the toolbars, and it's covering up part of another toolbar.
In this case, GC, there should be a down-pointing arrow that drops down a menu with the unseen toolbar items, on the right hand side of the toolbar in question.

I got it back - it was hidden behind another toolbar (???!!!).

I know Excel just TOO FUCKING WELL!
I can't do nifty formula and programming tricks, and a bunch of other advanced Excel tricks, but I have yet to meet a "WTF happened to (X)?" problem whose solution isn't burned into my brain.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Maybe it's just shy....

I was a long-time Compuserve user. They got way too expensive, so I left them for earthlink.
Now I have no use for earthlink.

Serial:
I recommend setting your toolbars just the way you want them, and then locking the toolbars. This will prevent accidental repositioning, which is ridiculously easy to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes I think the internet is too easy and I miss Compuserve and some of the archaic gyrations I'd have to go through to read newsgroups from my little stealth modem in my work PC. Ah, sweet fidonet and your brethren.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ah, sweet fidonet and your brethren.
Ah yes, Fidonet. I remember thinking that WWIV message boarding was more user-friendly than others, and had a gate to Fidonet to boot. Also sending UUCP email with bang paths. Those were the days...
...of stone knives and bearskins.
