Customize Toolbars and Menus

Microsoft Excel allows users to customize toolbars and menus to create a more personalized and efficient user interface. Here’s how to customize toolbars and menus in Excel:

 

Right-click on any toolbar or menu item to display a list of available toolbars and menus.

 

Select “Customize the Ribbon” to open the Excel Options dialog box.

 

In the Excel Options dialog box, click on the “Customize Ribbon” tab.

 

You will see a list of available commands and tabs on the left side of the dialog box, and a preview of the current ribbon on the right side.

 

To add a new command to a menu or toolbar, select the command from the list on the left and drag it to the desired location on the ribbon.

 

To remove a command from a menu or toolbar, select the command in the preview area and click the “Remove” button.

 

To create a new custom tab, click the “New Tab” button and give the new tab a name.

 

To add commands to the new tab, select the tab in the preview area and then drag and drop the desired commands from the list on the left.

 

Once you’ve made your changes, click “OK” to save the customization.

 

In addition to customizing the ribbon, you can also customize the Quick Access Toolbar, which is a customizable toolbar that can be displayed above or below the ribbon. To customize the Quick Access Toolbar, right-click on the toolbar and select “Customize Quick Access Toolbar.”
