3.	Remove or add a button from any toolbar displayed on-screen. To do so, simply drag the button you don't want from the toolbar, and the one you do want, from the Commands list onto the toolbar.
	► REMOVING To remove a button from a toolbar, simply drag it off the toolbar. As you drag, a gray rectangle appears above the pointer, and an X appears below it. Release the mouse button, and the toolbar button disappears.
	► ADDING To add a button, find it in the Customize dialog box by clicking an option from the Categories list and scrolling in the Commands list. When you have found the button, gently drag it out of the Customize dialog box and move it to the spot you want on the toolbar. As you do so, a gray rectangle appears above the cursor. A + appears below it when you move the button onto the toolbar.
	While the Customize dialog box is open, you can drag buttons to new locations on toolbars.
4.	If you want your new toolbar arrangement to appear only in certain templates, click the Save In drop-down list and choose the template.
5.	Once you're done, click Close.
