Customize the Quick Access Toolbar

Quick reference

• 00:05 Notice when you're in OneNote, up here you have your Quick Access Toolbar.
• 00:10 So let me show you a couple ways to add things to the Quick Access Toolbar or
• 00:14 even to take icons away.
• 00:15 The Quick Access Toolbar always stays on the top of the window so
• 00:19 you can put your favorite icons up there.
• 00:21 So one thing you can do is you can click on that arrow to the right of
• 00:24 the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 00:26 And then you can just pick any one of those.
• 00:28 So if I pick on Print Preview, now that's on the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 00:33 So that was really quick and easy.
• 00:34 I can just click on the arrow and then I can just pick any one of those.
• 00:39 I'll pick on Forward, for example, and
• 00:41 now the forward icon is on the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 00:45 Another thing that you can do is you can right click on any of your icons.
• 00:48 So I'm going to right click on Bold, and we'll say add to Quick Access Toolbar.
• 00:53 And now that one is up there.
• 00:54 Or right click in Italics, and I'll say add to Quick Access Toolbar.
• 00:59 If you want to remove something from the Quick Access Toolbar,
• 01:02 then you come up to the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 01:04 And you right click on that icon that you want to remove and
• 01:07 I'll say remove from the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 01:10 Good, now sometimes the Quick Access Toolbar shows up below the ribbon.
• 01:15 Let me show you how you can make that happen.
• 01:17 If I click on the arrow, I can say show below the ribbon.
• 01:24 And then notice the Quick Access Toolbar is here.
• 01:27 Now I really prefer it on the top of the window.
• 01:30 So if it's here and you want to move it back to the top, I'll click on that arrow
• 01:34 to the right of the Quick Access Toolbar, and I'll say show above the ribbon.
• 01:39 And now it's back.
• 01:41 That's the way I like it.
• 01:42 Okay, so,
• 01:42 let me show you another way you can add things to the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 01:47 If I pick on the File menu, File, then we'll pick an Options, file options.
• 01:54 Good, so, notice over here, it says Quick Access Toolbar.
• 01:59 And then from here you can add any of these into the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 02:04 So this gives you a bigger list.
• 02:06 So for example, let's say if undo is there, I want to add redo in there.
• 02:11 So pick on Redo and pick on Add.
• 02:14 And now that's part of the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 02:16 So the way I got here was I picked in the File menu and then Options and
• 02:20 I picked on Quick Access Toolbar.
• 02:22 Then you can just pick any one of those on the left, and then pick on the word add.
• 02:27 So that's now on the right hand side,
• 02:28 which means it's in the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 02:32 Even on this screen, here's how you can get a much bigger list of things you can
• 02:35 add to your Quick Access Toolbar.
• 02:38 I'm going to click on the pulldown where it says popular commands.
• 02:40 And then I can say All commands, and then you get a complete list
• 02:45 of everything that can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 02:49 So for example, I'll pick on the Eraser.
• 02:55 Just as an example, I'll scroll down and pick on eraser.
• 03:02 And then I'll pick on add.
• 03:03 And now you can see how that's on the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 03:07 When you're done with this window, I'll click on OK.
• 03:09 And now notice how the Quick Access Toolbar has the icons that we've added
• 03:13 in there.
• 03:15 So you can either click on this arrow and add those in.
• 03:19 I can right click on an icon and then say Add to Quick Access Toolbar there.
• 03:24 We can pick on File and then Options and
• 03:26 then pick on the Quick Access Toolbar there.
• 03:30 And even here I can add icons or remove icons as you can see in this window.
• 03:35 And when we're done with that we'll pick on Cancel or OK.
• 03:39 And then another way to remove something from the Quick Access Toolbar is to right
• 03:43 click on the icon that you want to remove.
• 03:45 And then you say remove it from the Quick Access Toolbar.
• 03:48 So now you have several ways to manage your Quick Access Toolbar.
