I am currently working with MS Word 2010. There are multiple custom tool bars available in one template. I cannot figure out how to edit them. The tool bar is a drop down that references a name to enter into the template.



I am looking to add and remove items from the drop down menu within the Add-Ins tab. Any assistance would be helpful.

These menus are likely a legacy from Word 97-2003. Such menus were easy to edit in that version and cannot be easily edited in the Ribbon versions. If you have Word 2003, open it in that version and right-click on the toolbar. Pick "customize."

If you do not, consider moving the customization to a QAT or Ribbon modification. These are easier (not easy, just easier) to edit in ribbon versions of Word than are custom legacy menus and toolbars.

Modifying the QAT and Ribbon in Microsoft Word

Other than simple QAT modifications, none of these is a simple beginner project in Word 2007 or later. The Ribbon versions were designed to be difficult to customize at the request of corporate IT departments.

Addendum,

You can modify such menus using vba. I have never taken the trouble to learn. All of the methods I mentioned earlier are easier for me. The more elegant Ribbon and QAT modifications do require vba and/or XML programming.

Thank you for the update. I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to edit them. I will work on QAT. Thank you for the advice.
