Add shortcut icons to your Quick Access toolbar in Microsoft Word 2007 

After choosing what icons I wanted to show in the quick access toolbar, see below to see it now. Everything I had chosen is now added to the quick access toolbar.

How to remove shortcut items from the quick access toolbar?

After you choose to see more commands, instead of pressing the add button, simply press the remove button. For example if you want to remove the printer icon from the quick access toolbar you would select it in the right column and then press on remove.

Notes on customizing the quick access toolbar in Microsoft Word 2007:

• You can experiment and add or remove icons until you see which shortcuts you really need there. I really like the printer icon to be in the quick access toolbar, however you must have your printer preferences set before you press it.
• The undo and redo icons are very handy and I would not even think of removing them.
• Adding icons to your quick access toolbar can enable you to remove the ribbon menu because you will have easy access to your favorite shortcuts.
