Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I find View Document Properties in the popular commands list?
By default, the Quick Access Toolbar customization menu only displays 'Popular Commands'. You must change the drop-down filter to 'All Commands' to see the complete list of available functions, which includes document properties.
Will customizing the Quick Access Toolbar in Word also change it in Excel?
No, the Quick Access Toolbar is application-specific. If you want the View Document Properties command available across different programs, you will need to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint individually.
Can I change the order of the icons on the Quick Access Toolbar?
Yes. While in the customization menu, you can select any added command in the right-hand list and use the Up and Down arrows provided to rearrange their order on the toolbar.
