More information

In Microsoft Excel, you can use the Customize dialog box to modify toolbars, menus, and menu items. To display the Customize dialog box, click Customize on the Tools menu.

The Customize dialog box is a special type of dialog box. While the dialog box is displayed, you can still activate menus and move toolbars. If you move a toolbar in front of the Customize dialog box, it will obscure the dialog box even if the dialog box is active. To eliminate this problem, click the title bar of the Customize dialog box.
