Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2007

In Microsoft Office 2007's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, the title bar contains a set of icons known as the "Quick Access Toolbar." If unchanged, it will contain three default icons: Save, Undo, and Redo. All of these will be displayed as long as they are active selections for the current file.

To customize the Quick Access Toolbar:

1. Click the small arrow to the right of the toolbar, and then click "More Commands" to view a configuration form.
2. Select the command that you want to add to the toolbar and click the "Add" button. To move the command up or down in the list, click the "Move Up" or "Move Down" arrows. You can also specify whether the command menu appears just for the current document or as the default for all documents by selecting the appropriate choice in the "Customize Quick Access Toolbar" drop-down menu.
3. When you are finished, click "OK."

Filtering in Excel 2007

Filtering can be a handy alternative to sorting in Excel. It allows you to selectively block out data that you don't want to see.

To filter, first select the cells you would like to filter (including the header row), click on the "Data" tab, and click the "Filter" button.

You can then click on the down arrows next to each column heading to sort by that column. For instance, if one of the columns is a date column, you can sort from oldest to newest, or from newest to oldest. If another column contains text, you can sort from A to Z or Z to A. Based on the type of data in the column, you can also choose to sort by color, apply custom filters, or apply built-in filters.

Add Slide Numbers in PowerPoint 2007

1. 1. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, select "Header & Footer."
2. In the "Slide" tab, check the box next to "Slide number." Most presentations do not show a slide number on the title slide, so you might want to check the box next to "Don't show on title slide" at the bottom of the screen.
3. Click "Apply" or "Apply to All."
4. Slide numbers will now appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the slide(s).

1. From the "Tools" menu, select "Options."
2. Click the "Other" tab.
3. Under the "General" heading, check the box next to "Empty the Deleted Items folder upon exiting."
4. "OK" to close the dialog box.
