Accessing frequently needed functions faster in Office 2007

March 2, 2008 · Posted in MS office, windows · Comment 

As soon as you upgrade to  the latest version of Office, the first thing tht happens is that you feel totally lost regarding where all your most often used functions are located. Here is how we re-enable these in Word  2007. Cllick the ‘Customize Quick Access Toolbar’ button in the title bar of Word and choose the ‘More Commands’ menu item. This will open a ‘Word Options’ dialog with the customizing page opened on it. You will see two lists on the right hand side; the list on the left contains possible commands whereas the list on the right displays the commands currently present on the toolbar. You can limit this selection using the combination box above the left list. Word offers the most frequently used commands by default. Select’ All commands’ instead. Search for the command that you want to add in the ‘toolbarfor quick access’ in the list. Select the desired entry, click on it an move it to ‘Insert’ in the list on the right.
Transfer all the required commands to the right list in the same manner.
Confirm with ‘OK’. If you want to remove a command from the toolbar, select it in the list on the right and click ‘Delete’. The ‘Quick access Toolbar’ for Excel, Access and PowerPoint can be configured in a similar manner.
