Click on the Maximize button (the one to the left of the Red/White X button
at the top right of the screen. Maybe that button had been clicked when it
was in its "Restore Down" mode and then the screen was manually sized and
moved so that the status bar was below the bottom of the screen.

Doug has given you the most likely answer, I believe.

In case the status bar isn't completely gone but missing options,
right-click it and select (from the context menu that appears) what you want
to show.

There is one more possibility.

The status bar in Word 2007 is supposed to be "always on", and there
is no option in the user interface to turn it off, but the macro
language can control it. It's always possible that some macro, add-in,
or other process has turned it off. So try this:

Press Alt+F11 to open the macro editor, and press Ctrl+G to open the
Immediate window. Paste this line into the window and press Enter at
the end of it:

CommandBars("Status Bar").Visible = True
