How to Open an Office Microsoft Toolbar

Creating an Office toolbar in the Windows taskbar can be helpful to some PC users as it enables them to quickly launch Office programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint without needing to find these programs in the Windows Start menu. A PC user must be able to find the location of the Microsoft Office folder on their PC to create an Office toolbar in the taskbar successfully.

Instructions

1. Go to the Windows taskbar, right-click on an empty area on the taskbar and then select "New Toolbar" from the "Toolbars" sub-menu. The New Toolbar dialog box will then open.

2. Go to the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs" directory. Note that based on your computer configuration, the location of this directory may be different.

3. Create a Microsoft Office toolbar by selecting the "Microsoft Office" folder from within the "Programs" directory, and then selecting "Ok." You have successfully created a Microsoft Office toolbar on the Windows taskbar.
