I still have this problem also, and only in Word. Super annoying, not fixed by Monterey 12.3 update...

Me too …. what version of Word are you running? I am on 16.59. MS: could you please fix this issue?

There is a temporary fix but it requires you hiding the dock and then you can see menu bar in word here screenshot below.

Tj192627 This 'solution' does not work. I auto-hide dock: still no menu bar in word in full screen (unless I hover over the bar).
- a1in-cApr 13, 2022Copper ContributorJohannes305 You need to enter Mission Control (F3 key), create a new Desktop screen and drag&drop the word to that screen. Then go to that Desktop from Mission Control, press OPTION+SHIFT and hover over the fullscreen button, then select "Zoom" in the little popup that appears. This will maximise the window, and if you have hidden the dock it will cover the entire screen except the Menu Bar, otherwise it will not cover/auto-hide the dock. This is a possible workaround, but it doesn't put the window in fullscreen. It's just zoomed.

I hide the dock to try your fix, but it did not work …. the menu bar still did not fix. Could you, please, give more details?
Thks!
