Customizing the Quick Access Bar in Office 2007

by Patricia Luzi

The Quick Access Bar, which is displayed in the top-left corner of the window above the Ribbon, has only minimal core commands that we used to see on the Standard Toolbar in previous versions. To make this more personal and user- friendly you can customize it to includes commands for your requirements. The Quick Access Toolbar commands are independent of the tab that is currently displayed.

You can customize commands to the Quick Access Toolbar using the Customize Quick Access Toolbar Command.

1. Click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar Command.
