PowerPoint Tutorial: How to Add Tools to Quick Access Toolbar in PowerPoint

Even though PowerPoint has been around for over two decades, there are scores of us who still struggle with it. PowerPoint has scores of tools and shortcuts that have been designed to help users get things done faster and smarter. Yet many of us do things the long and winded way, spending too much time on navigating PowerPoint. Eventually, we end up not being able to do enough with either the presentation or the content.

Lets learn how to add tools to your Quick Access Toolbar. In this example we are going to add the Combine Shapes Tool. By default, the Quick Access Toolbar can be found across the top of the ribbon.

  1. To begin, let’s bring it down below the ribbon for a better view. Right Click anywhere on the Ribbon and select “Show Quick Access Toolbar Below the Ribbon“.
