Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar is a customizable toolbar that contains a set of commands that are independent of the ribbon tab that is currently displayed.

Move the Quick Access Toolbar

The Quick Access Toolbar can be located in one of two places:

• Below the ribbon, where it can run the full length of the application window.
