MS Word Menu Options Cut Off When Fullscreen

When I fullscreen my MS word the Home, Insert, Draw options get cut off and makes it difficult to work with. I don't know if I pressed something that mightve zoomed in or messed up the formatting of the MS word in general but I can't seem to get it back to what it was before. It looks perfectly normal when not in fullscreen.


Here is what I currently see in fullscreen mode

Although I have not always found them helpful, they can be very good sometimes, and they do need to know if there is a problem.

One thing that is confusing me is that Home, Insert, and Draw are quite visible in your screenshot, with Home selected. Do they not respond? Trying to reproduce the problem, I notice that, in full screen mode, if the cursor/pointer is above the top of the window, they will be obscured by the top menu. An extreme example from Windows using Parallels, with the Mac menu bar showing:

The answer there is to approach from below.
