Time to Excel-lerate your Access; Word to your mother, homely. While I'm still getting on your case about customizing Windows to better suit your tastes, let me pull on the ear of the Microsoft Office user. You can customize those programs, too, ya know? Okay, so what's stopping you? Take an hour out of your weekend, right-click on one of the Office apps' toolbars, select 'Customize,' then flip to the 'Commands' tab. Wow -- look at all them icons. Drag & drop the ones you want onto your toolbars (situated above the Customize dialog). My favorites in Word: View > Fit To Window, View > Page Layout, Format > Grow & Shrink Font 1 Point, and Tools > Shrink One Page. You can also move and remove icons already sitting in the toolbar (drag & drop them within or off of the area).
