Adding a command to a toolbar or the main menu

You can modify the contents of any toolbar or menu by adding, moving, and removing commands. After modifying a core toolbar, you can always return it to its original contents; you might want to do this if you accidentally remove a command from the toolbar.

Steps:
  1. Make sure the target toolbar is visible.
  2. Click the Customize menu and click Customize Mode.
  3. Click the Commands tab.
  4. Click the category that contains the command you want to add.
  5. Click the command you want to add.
  6. Drag the command you want to add to any location on the target toolbar.

    You can also drag the command over a menu button on the main menu. Once the menu opens, drop the command at the desired location within that menu.

  7. Repeat steps 5 through 7 until all the commands you want are added.
  8. Click Close on the Customize dialog box.
TipTip:

The list of commands can be filtered by entering a search string in the Show commands containing edit box. The search is case insensitive, and only commands with matching captions are listed. The category list changes based on the matching commands. Note that the Menus and New Menu categories are always listed. To cancel filtering, leave the Show commands containing edit box empty and delete any blank space.

NoteNote:

Certain commands, such as the Map Scale combo-box and the Line Color selection palette, can only be added once in the user interface. However, you can always move these commands to new positions.
