Customizing Menus and Toolbars | Display or Hide a Toolbar

 

Microsoft created a collection of toolbars for each Office program that provides access to the commands and procedures that are most helpful for a particular task. The most used buttons are on the Standard toolbar.

Microsoft also designed and created several program-specific toolbars to help you most effectively use the unique features and capabilities for each Office program. You can view or hide the toolbars depending on your needs. The menu bar and the Standard toolbar appear by default when you first open Outlook 2002.

Menus and toolbars automatically adapt to your habits so that over time, the commands and buttons that you use most frequently are shown, whereas the ones that you do not use are temporarily hidden (If this feature is not helpful to you, you can turn it off, see the step by step guide "Show all Commands on Menus").

You can easily customize menus and toolbars to best meet your needs. In this section, see step by step guides to:
