The additional toolbars are:

You can also click "New" to create your own customized toolbar, and you can click Reset to reset the toolbars to the default settings.

You can customize the existing toolbars by adding and deleting buttons from the toolbar. To do this, Click the Commands tab in the Customize window shown above.

To add commands to a toolbar, locate the command you wish to add. To help you find the commands you would like to include, you can either look under "All Commands", or you can browse by category, such as "Chart Section" or "Edit". Next, Click and hold on the command in the "Command" section of the window and drag it to the toolbar and drop it where you would like to to be. When the command is ready to drop, you will see a black bar appear in the toolbar, indicating where the new command will be located.

To remove a command from a toolbar, with the command window above still open, click and hold the button on the toolbar and drag it to the command window and drop it. This will remove it from the toolbar. You can also use this method to rearrange the commands on the toolbars by dragging them to another position.
