Outlook includes several toolbars that contain dozens of toolbar buttons. Most users, however, use only a handful of toolbar buttons during any given Outlook session. Outlook enables you to add or remove toolbar buttons, and even add or remove an entire toolbar.

Add or Remove a Toolbar

1. Choose Toolbars from the View menu.

2. If a toolbar is displaying, it will have a checkmark next to it. Select the toolbar to hide it.

3. Select a nonchecked toolbar to display it.

   

Tip

To quickly toggle toolbars on and off, right-click the toolbar and choose the toolbar’s name from the submenu.

Tip

To quickly add or remove a button from a toolbar, click the Toolbar Options arrow at the far-right end of the toolbar. Select Add Or Remove Buttons, and then select the name of the toolbar (such as Standard) you want to edit. You can then add or remove buttons from the list that appears.

Caution

Be selective when choosing the number of buttons you add to a toolbar. Unless you use a high screen resolution and have a large monitor, Outlook may not be able to display all the toolbar buttons at once.

Try This!

To move a toolbar, click and hold the vertical dashed bar at its left end and drag it to a different location.
