When Microsoft designed the programs in Microsoft
Office, it conducted usability tests to determine which commands
and procedures people use most often. Based on these tests,
Microsoft created a collection of toolbars for each Office
program that provides access to the commands and procedures that
are most helpful for particular tasks.
The buttons generally used most often, were
placed on the Standard toolbar. The buttons relating to
formatting were placed on the Formatting toolbar, and so on.
Microsoft also designed and created
program-specific toolbars to help you achieve the most effective
use of the unique features and capabilities for each Office
program. You can view or hide the toolbars depending on your
needs, and you can also easily customize menus and toolbars for
your convenience. In this section, see step by step guides to:

program. Depending on your needs, you can display more toolbars
or hide them from view.
