Hey - got my first mac ever the other day - bought a 14" ibook for my wife, who like me is starting her first year of teaching. Also got office v.x, and she wanted to do something I'm at a loss to help her with - maybe y'all can help

How can she move/rearrange/add the spell check button so that it appears in the standard toolbar across the top (tables, borders, drawing, dictionary, etc... THAT toolbar)?

Right now the spell check button is the next one off the right end of the toolbar, where you have to push the "over/more" arrow to show all the buttons that don't fit on the toolbar... My thought was to resize the toolbar, since it would be the next one, or rearrange the buttons, but I'm stuck. Neither one worked for me. Any help would be appreciated. I'm loving everything about my... i mean HER new laptop ;)

Thanks in advance,
Matt
 
Go to View->Toolbars->customize

Click the Commands tab, and then select the "Tools" item on the left column, then drag the spell check item into the toolbar.

Hope that helps.
 
congratulations on your...i mean...HER new laptop!

whenever you don't like the way toolbars look in programs, check the View>Customize Toolbar settings to see if you are allowed to change things...almost always you can rearrange toolbars in programs.
