How do I customize my toolbars and toolbar buttons?

This step-by-step article describes how you can customize and create toolbars and toolbar buttons. You can customize any toolbar by adding, deleting, moving, or grouping toolbar buttons to suit your needs.

One of the most convenient features of Microsoft Word 2000 is the ability to customize the tools that you work with. One of the easiest tools to use is the toolbar.

Microsoft Word includes several built-in toolbars, including the two default toolbars that are visible when you start Word: the standard toolbar and the Formatting toolbar. The standard toolbar includes command buttons that let you quickly access many of the frequently used commands, such as Save, Open, Copy, and Paste. The Formatting toolbar provides quick access to text-formatting commands, including Bold, Italic, Underline, Numbering, Bullets, and so on.

To see a list of available toolbars, point to Toolbars on the View menu. The available toolbars appear on the Toolbars submenu. The toolbars that are currently visible in the Word window are selected (check marks appear next to them). To view and use a toolbar, you must select it on the Toolbars submenu. To select it (make it visible on the Word screen), click the toolbar name.
