Thanks for answering...but it doesn't help : right clicks on a control (any control) have no effect, at least on my Mac.

It is likely to depend on what version of Office 365 you are using as to what options you have available.



See this link:

Customize the Ribbon and toolbars in Office for Mac

Try updating your version if newer options aren’t currently offered in your subscription.
Historically, Mac/Office users have not been happy about the differences between Windows and Mac versions of Office.

Thanks for answering.

I use the latest version of Office 365.
Unfortunately, I already knew everything mentioned in the link you posted.
Adding the Font Color control to the Quick Access Toolbar seems just impossible

From the link I included in post No 4

You should update your profile to reflect your Mac use, otherwise you will continue to get responses that do not help.

I trust that in the modify dialog in Word you did try to change from "popular commands" to "all commands."

@ Charles Kenyon : I've updated my profile...although I still use Office 2003 with Windows 7 at home. But actually, my main concerns are with Office 365 for Mac

@ Moonshine : thanks. Unfortunately it seems I won't be able to do what I want to do.
The link confirms what I had experienced : MS reduced to 125 commands only what you can add to the QAT... And I think no simple macro can just do what I want : display a dropdown menu to let me choose the font color...
Office 2003 is the best version for my own use : simply and highly customizable.

I very much like Word 2003. I had toolbars all over the place.
If you do have to post any questions about Word 2003, remember to note that in the post.

However, the Ribbon versions are also very much customizable, but you have to really work at it; definitely not simple.

The QAT is pretty simple but to do good things with the Ribbon takes extra skills.
They made the UI harder to customize at the request of IT Nazis in corporate America.

• Modifying the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) in Microsoft Word
• Building Blocks & AutoText by Greg Maxey, MVP (Building blocks not available on Mac, yet)

Here's a custom ribbon tab:


It was a lot of work, but now I can change the menus just by creating/deleting/moving templates.

Great ! Many thanks : I've been looking for that for years.
I hope I'll soon have time to put this into practice asap.

(does it work for both Windows and Mac OS ?)

Uhm, you might want to change your profile which indicates you are using Windows 7.

The Mac and Windows versions are different programs with the same name and similar features. Do you have the latest edition of Word? It is only the latest versions (16.15+ I believe) on the Mac that allows editing the QAT. If you go into the Edit the Quick Access Toolbar dialog you should be able to find the commands under the Home Tab. You need to use the drop-down to change the area from which to choose commands. It should also be under "All Commands."
