Many people haven’t noticed the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). Or don’t make any use of it. But it’s one of the biggest time-savers in PowerPoint (and Excel, Word and Outlook). Once you’ve started using it you won’t look back. 

Why you should be using the QAT

All the commands you use most often are right there all the time. You don’t have to find the right ribbon then find the right button. Even if the command is hidden away in a dropdown. The alignment commands are a perfect example: Home > Arrange > Align > Left align. That’s four clicks - if you put Left Align on your QAT it would only be one.

How to set it up

The real key to making it useful is to put it below the ribbon. There are two key advantages:

All your most-used commands are closer to your slides - so they are quicker to reach and clickYou have the full width - so room for even more commands

To do this right-click on the QAT and select Show Quick Access Toolbar below Ribbon.

In short, all the things you find yourself using frequently. There are two ways to add commands to it:

As you go: right-click on a Ribbon button you use a lot and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar

Thought-out: right-click on the QAT, select Customise Quick Access Toolbar… and then locate, add and organise as you wish

That second option takes a bit of time. To speed things up, you can import the QAT that we use and customise it to your needs. 

You will find that you have a core of commands you use all the time. And there will be commands that you want to add for a specific task. Before long, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

Bonus commands

There are commands you can add from the Customise QAT window that don’t even exist on the ribbon. There’s even a filter for them. Try these:

Email: creates a new email with the current document already attached. Which makes forwarding the deck you are working on really quick.Size and Position and Format Shape: these open the right hand panes that you otherwise have to use the right click menu forClipboard: if you are doing a lot of cutting and pasting, then the clipboard is a very handy workspace. Show and Hide it quickly with the Clipboard command.

Take it one step further

If you like having all your most-used commands in easy reach, you can even create your own tab on the Ribbon. Use our favourites as a starting point.

Microsoft Excel Tips: How to Save Time by Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access toolbar is the list of tools that you can keep at your fingertips when working in Microsoft Excel. With this toolbar, you can quickly press the buttons that will take you to specific functions: most notably, the ones that you use the most often.

Microsoft Excel comes standard with the actions that people, in general, are most likely to take highlighted in the Quick Access toolbar. However, your data entry needs may be different from the standard option, which means you may want different things to be available. By customizing your Quick Access toolbar, you can keep those vital options at your fingertips.

You can save a form by clicking the save button on the quick access toolbar.

Strategy #1: Go the drop-down arrow on the Quick Access toolbar.

This will give you several options, including New, Open, Quick Print, and many others. You can quickly and easily use these options to customize your toolbar. By clicking on those options, you can add the ones that you feel will be most beneficial to you to your list.

Strategy #2: Add options as you find them.

Microsoft Excel allows for a variety of custom formatting options. Some of them, you will use very frequently–even those that don’t automatically appear on your Quick Access toolbar.

As you realize that you’re using those options often, you may want to consider including them as part of your Quick Access toolbar.

First, hover over the tool. Right click on it, then left click “add to Quick Access toolbar.” This will make the option automatically appear on your Quick Access toolbar.

For features that offer multiple options, you may want to just hover over the specific function that you use most often. On the other hand, if you use multiple functions, you can add the larger function option to the Quick Access bar.

Customizing your bar makes it highly usable.

How to Move the Quick Access toolbar below the ribbon.

Where it’s currently located, the Quick Access toolbar is sharing space with the other options available in that space. Want to move it to the bottom of your document, where it’s easier to see and has more room? Left click on the drop-down arrow, then select “show below the ribbon.” This will move the Quick Access toolbar to the bottom of the screen, where it can spread the full width of the screen.

Strategy #3: Use the More Commands option.

Go to the Quick Access toolbar, then click the More Commands option. They will take you to the Quick Access toolbar, tab, or category. It will show you the tools that are currently part of the Quick Access toolbar. From that menu, you can both add options to your Quick Access toolbar and rearrange the current options so that they’re in the order that make the most sense to you. You can customize that order based on your specific needs.

Any changes that you make to the Quick Access toolbar are made across all of your Microsoft Excel documents, not just in a specific document. As a result, you won’t want to make customizations that you don’t want to apply to all of your worksheets. However, if you utilize specific tools on a regular basis, it’s good to have them at your fingertips, where you can access them with ease–and without having to worry about memorizing keyboard shortcuts.

The Quick Access toolbar is just one of the tools that you can use to streamline your Microsoft Excel usage and make it faster and easier to take care of your data entry tasks. Do you want to learn more about those available strategies? Contact us or check out our library of tech tips today.
