Menus Word Drop down sort into groups

When you use the top toolbar and the drop down windows Menus in the section which you want i.e. Format. You will notice that they have horizontal lines between them.

This is Microsoft’s attempt to group various functions together.

However, you may not like the choice of Microsoft and wish to remove ones which you seldom use to the bottom and place the ones which you do use e.g. Double underline near the top.

Well would you believe that you can customise each and every window to your hearts desire and here is how:-

First you must right click on a blank space on the toolbar and select:- Customise ( This menu must be open all the time to allow you to modify)

Next highlight the one which you wish to modify e.g. Format.

Now click on the Format which is on the Top toolbar

To sort Click the item which you wish to move up or down and drag it to your preferred position. Now isn’t that simple? But remember you can not move it if the Customise window is not open.

A further sophistication You will have noticed that every so often there is an horizontal bar across the window. This is to sort the functions into groups. Now you can if you wish form or remove these bars to make your own groups.

Here is how :- ( Remember the Customise window must be open. )

Right click where you want to place a bar A window opens and in the list of alternatives there is one which says:- “ Begin a Group “ Now it does not take a science degree to work out what happens when you click this facility there you have a bar across where you elected to have one Want to remove it just do the same again or drag the item below over the bar.

Now who is a clever person? I will lay odds your friends do not know how to do this.

Whilst the Customise window is open do not forget to scroll the options to see if there is an extra one there which you would like.

If so drag it into the format window and you have that facility also.
