You can now practice moving menus, commands, and buttons around. Also try making a toolbar button for a menu command, and create your own icon for the button. Let the creative juices flow...
We will show you how to customize something and then give you instructions on how to return to the initial settings. However, please be very careful in this session: If you already have some customized features and you use the reset instructions at the end of the practice, you will delete your existing customizations.
Although this practice session uses Excel, the toolbars and menus will operate in the same way across all the Office programs.
About the practice session

Note You need to have Excel 2003 installed on your computer.
