Customizing

Word's out-of-the-box setup works well for many people—as you'd hope, given the effort that Microsoft has put into creating the Fluent User Interface and making it work smoothly. That said, you almost certainly use Word in a different way from other people. That means you can benefit from customizing Word to put the controls and information you need at your fingertips. Word lets you customize three major components of the user interface: the Quick Access Toolbar, the ribbon, and the status bar. You can also create custom keyboard shortcuts that enable you to run commands from the keyboard. 

Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar

Normally, the first part of Word you'll want to customize is the Quick Access Toolbar, the short row of buttons that appears at the left end of the title bar in the Word window, just to the right of the control-menu icon. The Quick Access Toolbar is the place to start customizing Word because it comes with only a few icons so that you can easily add icons for the commands you want to give most frequently. By putting commands on the Quick Access Toolbar, you can access them with a single click of the mouse. In its default position, the Quick Access Toolbar has space for only a couple dozen commands, but you can also move it to below the ribbon to give it more room. Now Let us know about customizing the Quick Access Toolbar 

You can customize the Quick Access Toolbar in four ways:

• Add a frequently used button: You can quickly add any of a dozen or so frequently used buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar.
• Add any command from the ribbon: Instead of choosing from the list of frequently used buttons, you can quickly add any command that's on the ribbon. This is useful when you find a ribbon command you want to use frequently.
• Add any other command: Some commands don't appear on the ribbon, but you can add them to the Quick Access Toolbar easily enough. Move the Quick Access Toolbar to below the ribbon: You can display the Quick Access Toolbar below the ribbon instead of in the title bar. This gives you plenty of room for extra buttons.
