Through a series of unfortunate brain cell events, I accidentally deleted the 'Editing' section (Find/Replace/Select) of my Word ribbon in Office 365. See attached screenshot.

How do I put it back? I tried resetting Word to its default settings but no go. I also tried reinstalling Office 365 - still nothing.

Any assistance would be appreciated. :-)

Can you do a screenshot of the customize box set as the following.
Aha! I see the issue. I was looking at the "All Commands" menu and trying to add each element of 'Editing', which wasn't working as I expected.

Never thought of looking at the "Main Tabs > Home" menu.

All sorted now. Thank you!
