Customizing Toolbars in Office
If there are features that you often use, you can usually had a button on the toolbar. For example, you can add a button to double space your document. Here's how you can add your own buttons to any toolbar in Word, Excel, or other MS Office programs. (Just remember you have to do it in each program that you want to use.)
- With Word (or the other program) open, Click View on the menu bar
- Go to Toolbars
- Click Customize
- A new window will pop up. Then choose the Commands tab.
- If I were adding the double space button, I would scroll to find Format in the left side of the window. (I know to look in Format, because that's where I go in the menu bar if there is no button. If you don't know where it is, just start looking.)
- When I choose Format, a new list will appear in the right side of the window and I scroll to look for Double Spacing.
- Then I just click, hold and drag that up to the toolbar where I want it to be and drop it there.
- Now you have a new button on your toolbar.
You can add as many new ones as you like. Also you can move your toolbars by clicking on the gray bar that gives you the four directional arrows when you put your cursor over it. Just click and drag to move it around.
