Putting the Quick Access
toolbar to excellent use
Figure 1-10 shows you the Excel 2007 program window with the Ribbon mini-
mized and a completely customized Quick Access toolbar that’s moved down
so that it appears under the tabs and immediately above the Formula bar.
This completely custom version of Quick Access toolbar should seem very
familiar to you: It contains every button from the Standard and Formatting
toolbar in Excel 2003 with the exception of the Permission, Zoom and Help
buttons in the original order in which they appear on their respective toolbars.
The Permission button is so esoteric and seldom used that I didn’t bother to
add it and neither the Zoom button nor the Help button is really needed as
the Zoom slider that enables you to quickly select a new screen magnification
percentage is always displayed in the lower-right corner of the Excel 2007
Status bar and the Help button is always displayed on the right side of the
bar containing the Ribbon tabs.
