Customize Menus in Word

In Microsoft Word 2000 and higher, you can easily customize your top menu items and bring options you use often to the forefront. Go to View > Toolbars > Customize. You will get the dialog window with the list of Commands. Instead of using that dialog window, simply find the commands you use most often, press the CTRL key and drag the item up to your top menu. Once released, the icon for that command will appear on your top menu. You can repeat this for any commands you want at the top. You can even customize your other menus while you’re at it.

Thanks to Steve in Nelson, British Columbia for bringing this to our attention.
