Office XP Basics

Changing the menu display

Office XP provides a few different ways to display menu commands:

1. Show the most commonly used commands followed by the full menu after a short delay.
2. Always show full menus.

Office XP programs will always show the most commonly used commands followed by the full menu after a short delay unless you indicate otherwise.

To change the way menu commands are displayed:

• Choose ViewToolbarsCustomize from the menu bar.
• A Customize dialog box appears.
• Click the Options tab. Select one of the following check boxes:
  • Always show full menus
  • Show full menus after a short delay

Clicking the Reset my usage data button will delete the record of the commands you've used and restore the default set of visible command to menus and toolbars.
