Chapter 1: Customizing 
an Office Program

In This Chapter

T

his short chapter describes a handful of things you can do to customize
Office 2007 programs. Don’t be afraid to make like a software developer

and change a program to your liking. Many people are wary of retooling
Office programs, but you can always reverse the changes you make if you
don’t like them, as I explain throughout this chapter.

This chapter shows how to put your favorite button commands on the
Quick Access toolbar. Instead of fishing around for your favorite commands,
you can assemble them on the Quick Access toolbar and locate them right
away. You also discover how to change around the status bar, dress up an
Office program in a new set of clothes, designate your own keyboard short-
cuts in Word, and handle Smart Tags, the data snippets that sometimes get
mysteriously underlined in Office files.

Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar

No matter where you go in Word, Access, Excel, or PowerPoint, you see the
Quick Access toolbar in the upper-left corner of the screen. This toolbar
offers the Save, Undo, and Repeat buttons (and sometimes other buttons 
as well). However, which buttons appear on the Quick Access toolbar is
entirely up to you. You can put your favorite buttons on the toolbar and
keep them within reach. And if the Quick Access toolbar gets too big, you
can move it below the Ribbon, as shown in Figure 1-1. Adding buttons to and
removing buttons from the Quick Access toolbar is, I’m happy to report, a
piece of cake. And moving the toolbar below the Ribbon is as easy as pie.
