Add Commands to the Quick Access Toolbar

I’m talking about adding extra buttons to your quick access toolbar. Although it is the easiest form of customizing it’s often overlooked.

The easiest way to do this is by clicking the small down arrow to the right of the Quick Access toolbar and selecting a new button to add like in this case e-mail shortcut.

But this is quite limited, there are only a small number of commands you can add in this way, only the most popular. You can add more commands via the more commands option or via the Office button and then selecting Word Options and then selecting Customize. Both ways open the same window.

Mine now look like this and the quick access buttons I added are from left to right:

Save (CTRL+S, but having a button can be useful)
Undo (CTRL+Z, but having a button can be useful)
Repeat (CTRL+Y, but having a button can be useful)
Paste Special (ALT + CTRL + V)
Right Align
Center Text
Left Align
Print Preview (very handy, this is a must have if you use MS Word a lot)
