Seeing more buttons on your toolbars

$Account.OrganizationName
Greetings!
Seeing more buttons on your toolbars

Typically Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Access, Excel and Powerpoint show you only one row of toolbar buttons at the top of your screen. This limits the number of buttons you can see at any one time. There are many toolbar buttons available when you separate the toolbars onto two rows. Here's how to do it.

The steps for this time-saving tip are similar to last week's tip of viewing entire dropdown menus immediately. Left click Tools, left click Customize. Left click the Options tab. In any of the programs listed above, left click in the check box beside "Show Standard and Formatting Toolbars on two rows." Click Close and take a look at your screen. You now have so many more buttons to use.

If you don't know what all those buttons do, check pages 56-58 in Taming Your Computer -- The Simple Basics. If you don't already have a copy click here to order your copy.

About Me

My photo
I love teaching senior citizens to use computers. I'm a senior myself, so I'm working with my peers. When I work with you in your home on your computer, I don't sit in front of your computer and TELL you want to do. You sit in front of your computer while I TEACH you what to do. I also write step-by-step instructions for you to follow when I'm not there.
