SET UP  You need the Agenda document located in the Chapter16 practice file folder 16 to complete this exercise. Open the document, and then follow the steps.1 On the Home tab, in the Font group, right-click the Text Highlight Color arrow, and then click Add to Quick Access Toolbar to add the command and gallery to the toolbar.2 At the right end of the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Customize Quick Access Toolbar button. The list displays popular commands; check marks indicate those that are currently displayed. 3 On the Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu, click Spelling & Grammar to add that button to the toolbar. 4 On the Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu, click More Commands to display the Quick Access Toolbar page of the Word Options dialog box. Available commands are shown on the left, and the commands currently displayed on the Quick Access Toolbar are shown on the right. Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar    489

You can filter the available commands by choosing a category from the list on the left. 5 In the Choose commands from list, click File Tab. In the left list, click E-mail as PDF Attachment. Then click the Add button to add the command to the list on the right. 6 In the Choose commands from list, click View Tab. In the list on the left, double-click Open the Navigation Pane to add the command to the list on the right. 7 In the Choose commands from list, click Developer Tab. Scroll to the bottom of the list, and double-click Templates to add the command to the list on the right. TIP  The Developer tab isn’t displayed on the ribbon by default. If you use only one or two commands from that tab, you can add them to the Quick Access Toolbar rather than cluttering up the ribbon with an additional tab. Now we’ll organize the commands on the Quick Access Toolbar. 8 In the list on the right, click Redo. Then at the top of the list on the left, double-click <Separator> to insert a separator after the selected command. 9 In the list on the right, click Open the Navigation Pane. Click the up arrow to the right of the list three times to position the command just below the separator. Then in the list on the left, double-click Separator.490    Chapter 16  Work in Word more efficiently

16 The arrows to the right of the Text Highlight Color and Templates commands indicate that clicking these buttons on the Quick Access Toolbar will display additional options. TIP  To create a Quick Access Toolbar that is specific to the active document, click the arrow at the right end of the box below Customize Quick Access Toolbar, and then click For <name of document>. Then any command you select will be added to that specific toolbar instead of the toolbar for all documents. 10 Click OK to close the Word Options dialog box. The Quick Access Toolbar now includes the default buttons and the additional commands you’ve added. Now we’ll display the Quick Access Toolbar in a more convenient location. 11 On the Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu, click Show Below the Ribbon to move the Quick Access Toolbar close to the document content. The customized Quick Access Toolbar is at your service! Now let’s experience how much more efficient it is to work with commands on the Quick Access Toolbar rather than the ribbon. You can perform each of these actions from another area of the user interface, but you can perform them with fewer clicks from the Quick Access Toolbar. 12 On the Quick Access Toolbar, select the Navigation Pane check box. Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar    491

+ 13 In the Navigation pane, click Preliminaries. In the document, select the first high­ lighted paragraph, Proof of notice of meeting. On the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Text Highlight Color arrow, and then click No Color to remove the yellow high­ light from the selection. Notice that the No Color option becomes the default for the Text Highlight Color button. 14 Select the next highlighted paragraph, and on the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Text Highlight Color button to remove the yellow highlight from the selection. 15 On the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Spelling & Grammar button to proof the document; click OK in the message box that appears when the process completes. 16 Experiment with any other Quick Access Toolbar options you want to. Then display the Quick Access Toolbar page of the Word Options dialog box, click Reset, and click Reset only Quick Access Toolbar. 17 In the Reset Customizations message box, click Yes to return the Quick Access Toolbar to its default contents. Then click OK to close the Word Options dialog box. CLEAN UP  Close the Navigation pane and move the Quick Access Toolbar above the ribbon if you want to. Then close the Agenda document, saving your changes if you want to. Using add-ins Add-ins are utilities that add specialized functionality to a program (but aren’t full- fledged programs themselves). Word uses two primary types of add-ins: COM add-ins and Word add-ins. The first type uses the Component Object Model to create utilities that extend the functionality of Office programs. The second type includes templates that incorporate sophisticated functionality such as macros. There are several sources of add-ins: ▪▪You can purchase add-ins from third-party vendors—for example, you can pur- chase an add-in that augments the ability to work with numbers in tables. ▪▪You can download free add-ins from the Microsoft website or other websites. ▪▪When you install a third-party program, it might also install an add-in to allow it to communicate with Office programs. For example, certain non-Microsoft programs install add-ins that enable the program to send content as an email message attachment.492    Chapter 16  Work in Word more efficiently

You can view and manage installed add-ins from the Add-Ins page of the WordOptions dialog box. 16 Your Add-Ins page will likely contain different add-ins in the Active, Document Related, and Disabled categories. To unload an add-in, click the add-in category in the Manage list and then click Go to open the Add-Ins dialog box. In the dialog box, clear the check box of the add-in you want to unload. This removes the add-in from memory but keeps its name in the list. To permanently remove an add-in from the list, click the add-in name, and then click Remove. (This completely deletes the add-in, so be sure you want to do so before you click the button.) IMPORTANT  Be careful when downloading add-ins from websites other than those you trust. Add-ins are executable files that can easily be used to spread viruses and otherwise wreak havoc on your computer. For this reason, default settings in the Trust Center intervene when you attempt to download or run add-ins. Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar    493

Customizing the ribbon Even if Word 2013 is the first version of Word you have ever worked with, you will by now be accustomed to working with commands represented as buttons on the ribbon. The rib- bon was designed to make all the commonly used commands visible, so that people could more easily discover the full potential of the program. But many people use Word to per- form the same set of tasks all the time, and for them, the visibility of buttons (or even entire groups of buttons) that they never use is just another form of clutter. Would you prefer to display fewer commands, not more? Or would you prefer to display more specialized groups of commands? Well, you can. Clicking Customize Ribbon in the left pane of the Word Options dialog box displays the Customize Ribbon page. The Customize Ribbon page of the Word Options dialog box.494    Chapter 16  Work in Word more efficiently

On this page, you can customize the ribbon in the following ways: 16 ▪▪You can hide an entire tab. ▪▪You can remove a group of commands from a tab. (The group is not removed from the program, only from the tab.) ▪▪You can move or copy a group of commands to another tab. ▪▪You can create a custom group on any tab and then add commands to it. (You cannot add commands to a predefined group.) ▪▪You can create a custom tab. For example, you might want to do this if you use only a few commands from each tab and you find it inefficient to flip between them.Don’t be afraid to experiment with the ribbon to come up with the configuration that bestsuits the way you work. If at any point you find that your new ribbon is harder to work withrather than easier, you can easily reset everything back to the default configuration. IMPORTANT  Although customizing the default ribbon content might seem like a great way of making the program yours, we don’t recommend doing so. A great deal of research has been done about the way that people use the commands in each program, and the ribbon has been organized to reflect the results of that research. If you modify the default ribbon settings, you might end up inadvertently hiding or moving commands that you need. Instead, consider the Quick Access Toolbar to be the command area that you customize and make your own. If you add all the commands you use frequently to the Quick Access Toolbar, you can hide the ribbon and have extra vertical space for document display (this is most convenient when working on a smaller device). Or if you really want to customize the ribbon, do so by gathering your most frequently used commands on a custom tab, and leave the others alone.In this exercise, you’ll add a custom tab to the ribbon, add groups of commands to the tab,and change the position of the tab on the ribbon. You’ll move groups of commands fromone tab to another, and hide tabs. Then you’ll reset the ribbon to its default state. SET UP  You don’t need any practice files to complete this exercise. With a blank ­document open, follow the steps.1 With the Home tab active, display the Word Options dialog box, and then click the Customize Ribbon page tab. TIP  To quickly display the Customize Ribbon page of the Word Options dialog box, right-click anywhere on the ribbon other than in a gallery, and then click Customize The Ribbon. Customizing the ribbon    495

2 On the Customize Ribbon page, click the New Tab button to insert a new custom tab below the active Home tab in the right pane. TIP  You can clear the check box of any tab other than the File tab to hide that tab. (You can’t hide the File tab.) By default, a new custom tab includes an empty custom group. 3 Click New Tab (Custom) and then click the Rename button. In the Rename dialog box, replace New Tab with My Tab, and then click OK to rename the tab. 4 Click New Group (Custom) and then click the Rename button to open a Rename dialog box that includes icons.496    Chapter 16  Work in Word more efficiently

16 The icon you choose for your group is displayed on the group button when the ribbon is not wide enough to display the group. 5 In the Rename dialog box, click an icon that you like (naturally, we chose the happy face) and replace New Group with My Favorite Commands. Then click OK. Now we’ll add some commands to the custom group. 6 In the Choose commands from list, click Main Tabs. Then in the list, click the plus sign adjacent to Review to display the groups that are predefined for this tab, and click the plus sign adjacent to Proofing to display the commands in that group. In the Proofing group, click Word Count, and then click Add to add the command to your custom tab. 7 Expand the Tracking group, expand the Track Changes menu group, and then add the Track Changes command to your custom tab. Customizing the ribbon    497

8 Click the Comments group, and then click Add to add the entire group of commands after the custom group on the new tab. Repeat the process to add the Changes group to the custom tab. For the purposes of this exercise, imagine that you have added all the Review tab commands you will ever use to your custom tab, and you no longer need the Review tab. 9 In the right pane, clear the Review check box to remove the tab from the ribbon. Then click the plus sign adjacent to Page Layout to display the groups of commands on that tab. Now let’s modify the custom tab contents and position. 10 Drag the Page Setup group upward in the right pane and drop it on your custom tab, after the Changes group. (A thick black line indicates its progress.) Repeat this process to move the Paragraph and Arrange groups to follow the Page Setup group. Then clear the Page Layout check box to hide the now-empty tab. 11 In the right pane, click My Tab. Click the up arrow one time to move your custom tab above the Home tab in the list. The order from top to bottom in the pane determines the order from left to right on the ribbon.498    Chapter 16  Work in Word more efficiently

12 Click OK to close the Word Options dialog box and display the results. My Tab appears at the left end of the ribbon, immediately following the File tab. The Page Layout and Review tabs are missing from the ribbon.13 Click My Tab to display the contents of your custom tab. 16 The custom tab includes your custom group and the groups you added from other sources. 14 If the program window is maximized, restore it. Then drag the right edge of the window to the left, to narrow the window until the ribbon can no longer display the groups.+ The group icon you chose appears on the group button. 15 Display the Customize Ribbon page of the Word Options dialog box. In the lower- right corner, click the Reset button, and then click Reset all customizations. In the message box asking you to confirm that you want to delete all ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar customizations, click Yes. 16 Click OK to close the Word Options dialog box. CLEAN UP  Close the document without saving your changes. Customizing the ribbon    499

Customizing the status bar You can easily add or remove indicators from the status bar by right-clicking any blank area of the status bar and then, on the Customize Status Bar menu, clicking the indica- tor you want to add or remove. On the Customize Status Bar menu, a check mark indicates a control that is currently shown or will be shown when related information is available.500    Chapter 16  Work in Word more efficiently

Key points 16 ▪▪The Word environment is flexible and can be customized to meet your needs. ▪▪You can create styles and templates to speed up the work of formatting a document. Styles and templates ensure that formatting is consistent within a document and between documents. ▪▪You don’t have to enter and proof the same text over and over again. Instead, save the text as a building block and insert it with a few mouse clicks. ▪▪Most of the settings that control the working environment are available from the pages of the Word Options dialog box. ▪▪You can provide one-click access to any Word 2013 command by adding a button for it to the Quick Access Toolbar, either for all documents or for one document. ▪▪You can customize the ribbon to put precisely the document development tools you need at your fingertips.
