Lost botom of page tool menu with writer upgrade

I’ve become used to this program and rely on the bottom of the screen tool menu that included numerous buttons for setting things such as the font color or background color. With my 25.2 upgrade this bottom toolbar went away and trying to figure out how to change colors has been impossible. Could someone please advise how I would be able to adjust my install so that bottom tool bar appears automatically again?
Thanks

In the menu click View > Toolbars > Drawing to toggle visibility.
When you select a drawing object the Formatting toolbar will be replaced by the Drawing Object Properties toolbar for as long as a drawing object is selected.
