If you use Word 2013, 2010 or 2007, do you find yourself hunting through the Ribbon trying to find a favourite option but not remembering quite where it is?
Perhaps you know exactly where it is, but you find it annoying to have to keep switching between tabs to reach it?
If so, here’s a simple tip you may not have discovered. Almost any button you find on the Ribbon can be added to the ‘Quick Access Toolbar’, the little toolbar in the extreme top-left corner of the Word window. The handy thing about this little toolbar is that it’s always visible, so the buttons it contains are always just one click away.
Adding a new item to it is easy. As an example, let’s say that you frequently need to add comments to Word documents, meaning that you’re forever flipping to the Review tab and clicking the New Comment button. Go to that tab now and right-click on the New Comment button. On the menu that appears, click Add to Quick Access Toolbar. Hey presto – that button now appears in the little toolbar, ready and waiting whenever you need it.
