Customizing toolbars

You can create your own toolbars that contain the commands that you need. You can make custom toolbars floating or tabbed.

To create a custom toolbar

1. On the View menu, point to Custom toolbars, and then click Customize.

The Customize Toolbar dialog box appears.

2. Click New.

A tab default-named Toolbar1 appears next to the rightmost tab.

3. In Caption, type a name for the toolbar. In Toolbar type, click an option to make the new toolbar tabbed or floating.
4. Select the Visible check box to make the toolbox visible.
5. Under Available Commands, click the plus symbol next to a menu of commands to expand the menu.
6. Select commands that you want, and then click Add to add them to the new toolbar.

The set of commands for the new toolbar appear under Toolbox Commands.

7. (Optional) Use the Separator and Move Up and Move Down buttons to arrange the commands in groups within the new toolbar.
8. (Optional) Use the Move Left and Move Right buttons to position the new toolbar in relation to the rest of the toolbars.

To edit a custom toolbar

2. In the Customize Toolbar dialog box that appears, make the changes you need.

To delete a custom toolbar

note: You cannot delete the default toolbars.

1. On the View menu point to Custom toolbars, and then click Customize.
2. Open the custom toolbar that you want to delete.
3. Click Delete.
