Workspace nightmare

[streeper]

I have somehow lost "my" settings on my workspace. I can't see the character section in the top embedded bar anywhere in the options offered. Help. Is there a way to build my workspace again? 

Mostly editorial work so I need the characters/fonts in the top of the workspace position. Suggestions?

Go to Window>Workspace and choose Advanced

That should bring back the bar at the top.

You can then setup your panels/placements again.

Then use Window>Workspace and save your workspace

You can then back it up
