The Quick Access toolbar is a set of tools that the user can customize. By default, the Quick Access toolbar contains three tools: Save, Undo, and Redo. If you find that you use a particular Ribbon command frequently, right-click the command and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar. You can make other changes to the Quick Access toolbar from the Quick Access Toolbar tab of the Office (such as Excel or Words) Options dialog box. To access this dialog box, right-click the Quick Access toolbar and select Customize Quick Access Toolbar.
A new feature in Microsoft Office 2010 lets you customize the Ribbon; this is done in the Customize Ribbon tab of the Excel Options dialog box. You can customize the Ribbon in these ways:
- Add a new tab
- Add a new group to a tab
- Add commands to a group
- Remove groups from a tab
- Remove commands from custom groups
- Change the order of the tabs
- Change the order of the groups within a tab
- Change the name of a tab
- Change the name of a group
- Move a group to a different tab
- Reset the Ribbon to remove all customizations
That’s a fairly comprehensive list of customization options, but there are some actions that you cannot do:
- You cannot remove built-in tabs — but you can hide them.
- You cannot remove commands from built-in groups.
- You cannot change the order of commands in a built-in group.
