Work Hacks Wednesdays: Use the Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access bar is a big time saver if you are a frequent Microsoft Office (2007 onwards) user. It doesn’t really matter if it’s Excel, PowerPoint or Word as it gives quick access to all your most used commands.

It is pretty easy to do – right click on the bar next to the home button and choose “Customize Quick Access Toolbar” and start adding your favourite commands.

This is what my PowerPoint Quick Access toolbar looks like. I pretty much do all my formatting using this – aligning, distributing, changing colours, etc.

Any Office hacks that you would like to share?
