Customizing Menus and Toolbars | Show All Commands on Menus

 

Microsoft Office XP programs, including Word 2002, automatically customize menus and toolbars based on how often you use the commands. When you first start an Office program, only the most basic commands appear. Then, as you work, the menus and toolbars adjust so that only the commands and toolbar buttons you use most often are displayed. If you prefer, you can choose the Always show full menus option in Word so that all commands are displayed on the menu.

Note   In the procedure below, selecting the Always show full menus check box affects all Microsoft Office XP programs.
