You know those toolbars stacked up on top of each other at the top of your screen when you’re editing your Word documents? You know — those toolbars filled with all the little icons and buttons that you’ve *never* used? Big news — those toolbars don’t need to be there!

If you have unused toolbars in Word, why not turn them off? They’re just taking up space — and the more space those toolbars take up, the less space you’ve got for viewing your actual documents.

To turn off a toolbar, first right-click on it. Anywhere on it. Then left-click any toolbar with a checkmark next to it. Presto-Change-o, it disappears from the screen. Play around with these settings and don’t worry about messing up or deleting toolbars.

To make a toolbar show up again, just left click on the toolbar name in the same list that shows up when you right-click on a toolbar.
