Customize Lesson 11

What do you think are the most interesting ways to customize menus and toolbars? Why? (re-read chapter 20 for more information).


Arranging the items in groups for what you use the most is the most interesting way to customize menus and toolbars. Each computer user has their own style of working and being able to customize your programs to your specification makes the use of the programs more efficient and the user more productive.

The best thing about customizing menus and toolbars is that you have what you need available without having to search for it. They can be arranged in the order that you use them the most and commands that are used most often can be added and less used items can be removed. Menus can be made just the way you want them and shortcut menus can be used as needed. Controls can be modified according to the way you use them and in particular groups and arrangements.
