Menu bar disappearance in Word

This is an incredibly minor problem but my menu bar disappears whenever I go to full screen, specifically in Microsoft Word. I have already altered the setting which prevents the menu bar from automatically disappearing in full screen and it is currently set to "never". However, the menu bar still disappears in full screen but only in Microsoft Word. I have also already tried restarting my computer. If anyone has had this problem before and found a solution, help would be very much appreciated!

MacBook Pro (M2, 2022)

Typically in Full Screen mode you have no menu bar unless you move your mouse to the top of the Display...


An Alternative is don't go into Full Screen mode.


If you hold the Option key and click the green pill button>Zoom to take up all the screen real estate.

If you still have no menu bar, see about upgrading the Microsoft software to be more compatible...
