[Word 2013] Quick Access Toolbar customization

Post by New Daddy »

Another synchronization-across-multiple-Words question: where is the customization of the Quick Access Toolbar stored? It doesn't seem to be in the Normal.DOTM. (I've added the style drop-down box in the QAT to the home computer's Word, but it doesn't appear in my work computer's Word.)

Customizations to Quick Access Toolbar and ribbon are stored in

C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\Word.officeUI

(similar for Excel etc.)

Remember, AppData is a hidden folder, you can only view its contents if you show hidden files and folders in Windows Explorer/File Explorer.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks!

Can you point Word to a different folder for this UI file, though?

No, I don't think so.
