SUMMARY

When you first start a Microsoft Office program, the menus and toolbars display basic commands and buttons. As you work with an Office program, the commands and buttons that you use most often are stored as personalized settings and displayed on menus and toolbars.

If you have the Menus show recently used commands first option selected, the commands you use most frequently are "promoted" and appear on the menus; the commands you use less often are demoted and do not appear on the menus until you expand them.

If you choose not to use this option, Office still stores information about how frequently you use commands so that when you select this option later, the menus will adapt and display the commonly used commands on the menu.

MORE INFORMATION

You can expand the menus to see all of the commands by using one of the following methods:

• Clicking the arrows at the bottom of the menu.



• Clicking a menu and pausing for a few seconds until the menu automatically expands.



• Double-clicking the menu name in the menu bar.

1. Start any Office program.



2. On the Tools menu, click Customize.



3. Click the Options tab.



4. Click to clear the Menus show recently used commands first check box.



5. Click Close.
