2010 Status bar disappeared

Is the Word window maximized or "restored" to a normal window?

Hi!
The status bar in my 2010 word program, you know the one that gives page
count,
word, count, etc... has vanished. I have read about right clicking to
customize
and such, but the area where the bar should be is gone!
To answer some of the basic questions that I have seen mentioned for some
of
the
older versions of word:
Yes, the screen is standard size, and not in any strange view (web, full
screen,
etc...) I have shut it down and restarted, even rebooted the computer, to
make
sure that it wasn't just gone temporarily.

I have seen others talk about macros that make the status bar visible, but
only
for Office 07 or older.
Could this be what happened to my 2010?

I appreciate any help you can offer!
