The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft PowerPoint 98 Macintosh Edition

This article was previously published under Q188523

SUMMARY

PowerPoint allows you to organize toolbars and menu commands so you can find and use them quickly. You can easily customize toolbars to add and remove menus and buttons. You can also create your own custom toolbars and hide or move them.

PowerPoint 98 stores all the changes you make to its menus and toolbars in the PowerPoint Toolbars (8) Preferences file, in the Preferences Folder.

If you drag the PowerPoint Toolbars (8) Preferences file to the Trash and restart PowerPoint, the menus and toolbar settings are reset to their default values.

MORE INFORMATION

In earlier versions of PowerPoint, toolbars contain only buttons. In PowerPoint 98, toolbars contain buttons, menus, or a combination of both. The Menu Bar is a special toolbar at the top of the screen that contains menus such as File, Edit, View, and so forth. You can customize the Menu Bar the same way you customize any built-in toolbar.
