Resizing Toolbars in Office v.X

Hello,
Not sure where to post this question, but since I'm using Office v.X on my MBP, I figure I'd post it here.
I'd like to resize the toolbars in the Office apps so that they extend all the way across the screen. The toolbars look like they have a little area on the bottom right side where I should be able to grab and resize horizontally, but the program won't let me do it.
How do I resize the toolbars in Office v.X so that they fill across the screen? Do I have to fill each toolbar with a lot of additional commands to "trick" the toolbar to extend across the screen, or can I simply resize? I really don't like the look of Office that much and would prefer for the apps to fill the screen.
Many thanks,
sarah

In office, the tool palette will only stretch as far as it needs to contain its icons. You can't stretch it farther. However, going to the View menu, and selecting additional toolbars, and dragging them to the right of any toolbar already at the top of the screen will cause it to be placed there, so you can get the toolbars to go all the way across the screen, if you would like. There is also the ability to customize toolbars and menus, from View->Toolbars/Customize Toolbars/Menus

  • Adobe toolbar in Office 2007 not appearing

    I'm having a problem in which the Adobe toolbar is not appearing in our Office 2007 applications.  I have Acrobat 8 installed.  I've already followed all the steps in the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdfmaker-unavailable-office-2007-acrobat.html
    The "Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin" is listed as an active add-in, but the toolbar is not displayed.  Are there any other steps to try outside of that above article?  I've ran repairs on Office & Adobe Acrobat, re-registered the add-in, re-installed Adobe Acrobat... none on this has resolved my issues.

    Yes, there is a way. It is described in http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/329307.html .

    There's no way to do it when it's already installed?
    Yes you can. Use the Add/Remove Programs on your system.

  • Still no Outlook toolbar, x64, Office 2010?

    A while ago I installed Acrobat 9 on Windows 7, 64 bit with Office 2010. One thing that annoyed me was the lack of an Acrobat toolbar within Outlook, and no way to click a PDF button from within Office applications to create a PDF file through Acrobat. At the time I think that the support team told me a fix was coming (something about 64 bit, or Outlook 2010, I don't remember).
    It still doesn't seem to work after the latest updates, is there any new progress on this to report?

    Acrobat does not support the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010. It will work on 64-bit *operating systems*, but you must use the 32-bit version of Office.

  • How to remove PDF Maker toolbars from Office/Word/Outlook ??

    Cannot find a solution for this anywhere:
    Using:
    - CS 3 Design Suite with Acrobat installed (going to Control Panel > Add/Remove/Change CS3, no options available for Acrobat, only install/re-install)
    - Office 2003.
    The annoying toolbar appears in Outlook and Word, tried registry hacks, 'Templates & Add-ins' (no option to uncheck PDF Maker).
    Can't get rid of it.
    Any help?

    You go back to the repair and remove the PDF Maker option in the install. Basically to not get that option on install, you would have done a custom install and disabled PDF Maker. Unless you are really super annoyed, I would suggest you just leave them there as it is likely that in the future you will want them to be able to transfer links, bookmarks, and such (it is needed for that functionality).

  • Resizing Toolbar Images

    I've built an application with a toolbar. Each button has an image of 32x32. I would like to resize the buttons and images so they're only 16x16. How is this done?

    Do you want to do this internally within the application?
    Also, what format are the images in? Jpeg or Gif? The reason I ask is because it will matter quite a bit if it is a Gif image. If you reduce the width and height of a Gif image, the pixels get all mussed up, and the image will not come out right.
    The best solution for this is to draw your images in the 16x16 size to begin with.

  • How to add adobe toolbar to office 2013 programs?

  • Removing Acrobat Toolbar from Office 2011

    I've searched the Web and all the solutions to this don't seem to work with Office for Mac 2011...
    So ... I made the mistake of opening Adobe Acrobat Pro (The full app) yesterday, and when I did, it automatically (despite asking me and me saying "no") installed into all the Office apps the highly annoying and totally unnecessary Acrobat toolbar.
    Does anyone know how to remove this thing? I've tried everything I can thing and everything I've found on the Web.
    Halp!

    There are reports of this happening in Office2011 on the OfficeForMac Forums. 2011 has returned the ability to use Macros. And the PDFMaker is a Macro. Acrobat installs this in any version of Office that can use Macros, whether it has the ability Function. In 2004 you went to customize menus and unchecked PDFMaker Then you you looked for PDFMaker in Acrobat and and Office.  And yes Acrobat indeed does trigger its installation.  Its been so long since I had to do it but at one time there was a Kludge to prevent it from happening. You had remove the offending item then create aBlank folder and name it exact  same as application (Macro) and place it in place of the original file. In UNIX which is the underlying basis for the Mac OS. you can write over top of a Folder with a File.
    2011 is almost line by line port of Office2010 for PC with some features left out. And there are some cases where they didn't or proof read the code to leave out items that will only work on PC. One such problem is That you can not use the word "File" or Fileserver in the name of any File, Folder, Harddrive, of fil Server paths. Something that is acceptable on Mac's for as long as Mac have been. Also certain forbidden characters such as <>| \/ "  subscripts and superscripts and numbers can not proceed names  (document1.docx is aceptable - 1document.docx is not).  They put in a piece of PC Code that looks for this stuff. So for office2011 Mac, any way you can't name a File, Directory Hard Drive, or Fileserver in a PC, you can't in Office Mac 2011. It doesn't affect Office 2008, or 2004.
    So if that insertion code Macro, is still in Acrobat 9, or even 10 it will install PDFMaker whether it can be used or not.

  • Importing Office 2007 Quick Access Toolbar to Office 2010

    I want to bring over my QATs created in Office 2007 (running in Windows XP Pro) into Office 2010 (running in Windows 7 Pro). Because there is no way to export the Office 2007 QATs to a file, I can't do the normal importing a customization file
    directly from within Office 2010. However, if I copy my word.qat (or excel.qat, powerpoint.qat, etc) file created in Office 2007 over to the appropriate folder in Office 2010, and just change the file extension from ".qat" to ".officeUI" it brings up
    my QAT settings in Office 2007. It looks okay and seems to function properly like this.
    I think this will work, but I'm not sure if it will cause other problems. It seems to look okay. Will I run into trouble with it later?

    Sorry to bump such an old thread... but I couldn't find anything about a possible 2007 > 2013 migration.  The strict change in extension names doesn't enable the old .qat file to be imported (in MSO2013 the new extension is .exportedUI) -- however,
    digging into the old .qat and new .exportedUI files, it seems all I needed to do was add <mso: cmd app="Word" dt="0" /> to the start of the file and presto... imported without any problems.  Let's see if it all runs fine... (and if it works in Excel
    too) (phew!)

  • Trojan Horse - contribute toolbars in Office applications

    re: CS3 Web Premium - full install
    None of the conventional methods of managing toolbars in MS
    Word (and other MS Products) seems to work in eradicating the
    unwanted Contribute (and to some degree, Acrobat) toolbars:
    /view/toolbars/ - deselect contribute toolbar
    /tools/customise - deselect contribute toolbar
    /tools/customise - drag contribute tools from contribute
    toolbar until empty
    All the above appear to work, yet the original Contribute
    toolbar is present again (taking up precious space and throwing
    toolbars in disarray) the next time Word (Excel, Outlook, etc) is
    loaded.
    When dragging contribute tools from contribute toolbar there
    is a confirmation screen regarding changes to
    ContributeWordUITemplate.dot - yet i can't find this template to
    remove or edit it.
    Furthermore, what options do i have to remove the Contribute
    and Acrobat menus from the main menu bar in Word?
    Any application that overrides standard procedures to prevent
    itself from being removed is a Trojan Horse as far as I am
    concerned. This practice is worse than arrogance, it is malicious.
    Has anyone managed to eradicate these?

  • Acrobat toolbars in word 2007

    I am currently using CS4 (with Acrobat 9).
    Yesterday, I upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Office 2007.
    Two Acrobat toolbars (Convert and Select) are no longer with any of Office 2007 files. How can I retrieve these two toolbars for Office 07? James

    Try these...
    If you are missing the PDF option in MS Office 2007, you may
    download a plug-in from MS to create a PDF without Acrobat, go
    to the MS article search page and do a search, or go to the MS
    Office update page and search for the file to download

  • Having problems with OPA 10 and office 2007 templates

    Hi,
    I have a OPA 10 and office 2007 set up which is having some issues with the macros. Seems to me that the visual basic code is not kicking off really well sometimes. I am trying to map the sequence which leads to the errors and I believe that the issue is around opening an old word doc which has a old template version (.dot). This may be the cause for OPA getting lost when working with word 2007.
    For example, I ask to open a rules doc and the visual basic tells me that OPA couldn't open the doc but word is opening the doc anyway. However none of the toolbar commands work as well as I can 't save the doc etc.
    Have you experienced any issue with OPA 10 and Office 2007? Any special word configuration? Should i go back to office 2003?
    BTW, I have both dotm and dot templates loaded as add-ins in word. The dotm toolbar looks good but the dot toolbar is a bit strange in 2007.
    Cheers,
    Paulo

    Hi Paulo,
    Have a look at the following tips from Davin Fifield about troubleshooting the toolbar.
    Sometimes when using Oracle Policy Modeling, Microsoft Word documents that are part of a Policy Modeling project may appear without the OPA toolbar (in Office 2003) or OPA options on the Add-Ins ribbon (in Office 2007) when opened in Microsoft Word.
    This problem can be caused by various factors.
    Here are the top three troubleshooting steps to try to recover from this situation.
    1. With your project open in Oracle Policy Modeling, run Update Oracle Policy Templates from the Tools menu. This will attempt to make sure the correct Word template is attached to each project Word document that is not currently excluded from the build. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 2.
    2. Try changing the UI language for your project. To do this, choose Options, from the Tools menu in Oracle Policy Modeling. Select Environment. Selet General. Under Authoring UI Language, choose a language other than your preferred UI language, and click OK. Then repeat these steps to revert to your preferred language. Open a Word document to see if the toolbar/ribbon is now displayed correctly. If not, continue to step 3.
    3. Open one of the Word documents in your Policy Modeling project. Run the macro UpdateToolbar: In Word 2007, choose the View ribbon, then select Macros/View Macros, highlight the UpdateToolbar macro, then choose Run.
    Does this resolve your issue?
