Default Customizing the Quick Access Toolbar

Macros can be added to the QAT, but not a drop down menu of the type you
would be thinking about. Any toolbars that you had created will end up in
the Add-Ins tab of the ribbon.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for asking this. I don't have Word 2007 in front of me at the
moment.
Maybe the question wiill be useful for others.

With that Quick Access Toolbar, is it possible to put drop down menus on
it
and populate those menus with our own commands and macros?

If yes, then what happens with the accelleroate keys. Let's say I want to
create a menu called Window, to make up for the Window menu that Word 2007
has eliminated, and put in that menu certain macros and command, just as I
have in my current Word 97. And let's say I make "W" the accelerator key
for that menu. Will the Alt+W for that menu be blocked by the Alt+W that
is
used to open the View tab in the ribbon?

What if the ribbon is minimized? In that case would Alt+W work to open my
customized menu?

If menus and macros cannot be added to the QAT, is it still possible in
Word
2007 to create your own customized toolbars with your own menus?
