Quickly arrange icons on your toolbars

This is a trick I learnt a few years ago in Office (don’t remember exactly if was 97 or 2000 ?) since I like to customize my working environment “in my way” (like everyone else, I guess ?), but I don’t like to waste time digging into menus, config files etc if possible…

It’s easy: hold the ALT key and simply…:

    • Drag the button to move it in the position you like, also in a different toolbar
    • Slightly drag the button to the right to insert a vertical separator on the left of the icon you are touching
    • Slightly drag the button on the left to insert a vertical separator on the right of the icon you are touching
    • Drag the button down (outside the toolbar) to remove it
re-arrange icons
re-arrange icons

Of course this works only for icons and button you already have on the toolbar, if you need to add a new one you must do it the usual way (right click on the toolbar and chose the “Customize” command). Oh, this does not work with the Ribbon in Office 2007.
