■From the right pane, click to select the desired tools from the left column one-by-one, and click Add button in the middle of the left and right columns each time you select a tool.
■When Add button is clicked, you will notice that the selected tool is now added to the right column which means the tool is added to the Quick Access Toolbar.
■Once all the important tools are added to the right column, click OK to save the changes.
■The Quick Access Toolbar should appear on the interface instantaneously. If it doesn’t, restart MS Word 2013 to allow the changes to take effect.
