Customize menu buttons in MS Word 2007

Asked By jeffandersen 0 points N/A Posted on - 09/26/2011

My MS Word has just been upgraded to version 2007 from 2003. The layout of the menu and commands take some getting used to. 

I used to be able to customize the buttons that appear on the top menu of MS Word 2003, depending on what I use frequently. 

For example, Font commands. I use double strike through and small caps a lot in my documents and projects, so those are 2 buttons I would definitely need to get up there on the menu rather than having to do a 3- or 4-step procedure just to accomplish the font format. 

I cannot seem to find a way to customize the command buttons in MS Word 2007. Can someone please show me how?
