Restore original toolbar, button, and command settings

Microsoft Access will also restore the original property settings for the toolbar or menu bar itself, including restoring its screen location and size, and hiding or showing the bar.

2. On the Toolbars tab, click Properties.
3. In the Selected Toolbar box, select the name of the toolbar or menu bar you want to reset default settings for.

The Restore Defaults button isn't available until Microsoft Access detects that the selected built-in toolbar or menu bar has been modified.

1. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Customize.
2. With the Customize dialog box open, right-click the menu you want to restore, and then click Reset on the shortcut menu.
3. On the Customize dialog box, click Close.

Note  The Reset command restores the built-in menu to its original images, commands, and submenus.

1. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Customize.
2. Click the Toolbars tab.
3. In the Toolbars box, click the name of the toolbar you want to restore.
4. Click Reset.

Notes

• You cannot reset a custom toolbar.
• As you work with Microsoft Office, the menus and toolbars are personalized to show the commands that you use most often if you have cleared the Always show full menus box on the Options tab in the Customize dialog box. If you want, you can return the toolbar and menu display to the state it was in when you first started using Office.

1. Make sure the toolbar you want to change is visible.

   How?

   1. On the View menu, point to Toolbars.
   2. Do one of the following:

   • If the toolbar name is listed, click the toolbar name.
   • If the toolbar name is not listed:
     1. Click Customize.
     2. In the Customize dialog box, click the Toolbars Tab, and then double-click the toolbar you want to show.

2. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Customize.

3. With the Customize dialog box open, do one of the following:

   • To restore a toolbar button, right-click the button, and then click Reset on the shortcut menu.

   • To restore a menu command, click the menu that contains the command, right-click the command, and then click Reset on the shortcut menu.

Notes

• The Reset command restores the built-in toolbar button or menu command to its original image, name, and command.
• The Reset command isn't available for a button that displays a list when clicked.

1. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Customize.
2. Click the Options tab.
3. Click Reset my usage data.

Notes

• The Reset my usage data button affects the buttons shown on a built-in toolbar only if it is not wide enough to display all the buttons. It affects the menu commands shown on the short version of built-in menus only if you have the Always show full menus box cleared on the Options tab in the Customize dialog box.
• The Reset my usage data button affects only the toolbar buttons and menu commands of the Microsoft Office program in which the button is clicked.
• The Reset my usage data button does not change the location of toolbars, does not remove any buttons or commands you've added by using the Customize dialog box, and does not add buttons or commands you've deleted.
