In this exercise, you’ll add a couple buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar for all documents, and then you’ll test the buttons.
1. Open the Word Options dialog box, and then click Quick Access Toolbar. The Customize The Quick Access Toolbar page displays a list of available commands on the left side, and a list of the currently displayed commands on the right side.
2. At the top of the available commands list on the left, double-click Separator.
3. Scroll down the available commands list, click the Quick Print command, and then click Add.
4. Repeat step 3 to add the Text Highlight Color command. The Text Highlight Color command is added to the list of commands that will appear on the Quick Access Toolbar.
5. Click OK to close the Word Options dialog box. The Quick Access Toolbar now includes the default Save, Undo, and Repeat buttons and the custom Quick Print and Text Highlight Color buttons, separated by a line.
To print a document with the default settings, you no longer have to click the File tab to display the Backstage view. Click Print in the left pane, and then click the Print button.
6. If you want to test printing from the Quick Access Toolbar, ensure that your printer is turned on, and then on the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Quick Print button. Now let’s see how easy it is to highlight or remove highlighting from text when you are working primarily with the commands on a tab other than the Home tab.
7. Click the Review tab. Then select the first highlighted paragraph, Proof of notice of meeting.
8. On the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Text Highlight Color arrow, and then click No Color. The yellow highlight is removed from the selection. The No Color option becomes the default for the Text Highlight Color button.
9. Select the next highlighted paragraph, and on the Quick Access Toolbar, click the Text Highlight Color button. The yellow highlight is removed from the selection.
10. Display the Quick Access Toolbar page of the Word Options dialog box, click Reset, and then click Reset only Quick Access Toolbar.
11. In the Reset Customizations message box, click Yes to return the Quick Access Toolbar to its default contents. Then click OK to close the Word Options dialog box.
Close the open document.
