Final answer:
To customize the Quick Access Toolbar, you can add or remove commands, change its position above or below the ribbon, and add specific functions like the Animation Pane to it. Changing the toolbar color isn't an option within its settings.
Step-by-step explanation:
To customize the Quick Access Toolbar in Microsoft Office applications, you can:
- Add or remove commands by clicking the drop-down arrow at the end of the Quick Access Toolbar and then choosing which commands to include or exclude.
- Change the toolbar position by clicking on the drop-down arrow of the Quick Access Toolbar and selecting 'Show Below the Ribbon' or 'Show Above the Ribbon'.
- Add the Animation Pane to the Quick Access Toolbar by finding it in the 'Choose commands from' list in the 'More Commands' option, which you can access via the drop-down arrow of the Quick Access Toolbar.
It's important to note that changing the toolbar's color is not an option for customization within the Quick Access Toolbar settings. To change colors, you would generally modify the Office Theme settings.
If you wish to ensure changes are not saved as edits you can go to the tools ribbon and toggle Track Changes to off. To open a panel that displays all changes you can click Reviewing or Reviewing Pane in the tools ribbon, and you can navigate to a specific revision by clicking the revision in this panel.
