Customizing an Office 2010 Program

Office 2010 Home and Student edition has made customizing programs easier than ever. Whether you’re working in Word 2010, Excel 2010, PowerPoint 2010, or OneNote 2010, you can take advantage of these customization techniques:



  • Quick Access toolbar: Located in the upper-left corner of the screen, the Quick Access toolbar is always there. Why not make it even more useful? To place any button on the toolbar, right-click it and choose Add to Quick Access Toolbar. Or click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button (located to the right of the Quick Access toolbar) and choose a button on the drop-down list.



  • Ribbon: Running across the top of all Office programs, the Ribbon offers tabs with commands for doing this, that, and the other thing. To customize the Ribbon and make getting to the commands you need that much faster, right-click the Ribbon and choose Customize the Ribbon. You go to the Customize Ribbon tab of the Options dialog box. From there, you can move tabs and groups on the ribbon, create your own tabs, and create your own groups.



  • Status bar: The status bar along the bottom of the screen gives you information about the file you’re working on. Maybe you want more information — or you think the status bar is too crowded. To change what appears on the status bar, right-click it and select options on the pop-up menu.



  • The color scheme: Office Home and Student edition offers three color schemes to dress up Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. To change color schemes, start on the File tab, choose Options, select the General category in the Options dialog box, open the Color Scheme drop-down list, and choose Blue, Silver, or Black.
