Customize Word 2007 Quick Access Toolbar

by Ivan on June 23, 2009

Word 2007 is very different than Word 2003. One of the frustrations I have found is trying to find out how to do things in 2007 that I can do very quickly in 2003. Learning to customize the Quick Access toolbar is one way to make your life a little bit better!

The Quick Access toolbar puts frequently used commands at the top of the screen, so you can access them quickly. Makes sense!

The only problem is that when you start Word 2007, there are only three commands here: Save, Undo, and Redo.

You can add more commands to the Quick Access toolbar and customize it to suit your needs. Don’t add too many or it may impact the application’s performance.

To add a command to the Quick Access toolbar:

  1. Click the downward-pointing arrow beside the toolbar.2007command
  2. Select from any of the commands that appear or click More Commands if you don’t see the one you would like to add.
  3. Select a category from the box labeled “Choose commands from”. In the box below that, select a command. Click OK2007command2
  4. The command you selected now appears on the Quick Access toolbar.
