Office 2007's ribbon interface doesn't allow you to create custom toolbars as older versions of Office did, however, you can use the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) to bring your most used commands within easy reach.
Office 2010 adds the ability to easily customize the ribbon (along with the qucik access toolbar) and export it as a backup or to share with others. The method is similar to the method used with Outlook 2007.
So what is the QAT?
The QAT is the row of buttons across the top of open Outlook items (messages, appointments, calendar, tasks, journal).
To add commands to the QAT, click the down arrow to the right of the bar and select More Commands from the menu. Select the commands you wish to add (or remove) and close the dialog when finished.
You can use Alt+n shortcuts with the commands on the QAT.
