step 1: right click on the toolbar area and choose "customize"
step 2: in the toolbar tab, press "NEW" and give it a name. You can also choose what applications this bar will be available in.... I choose "Always Available".
*** when you press OK, you should see a tiny, empty toolbar on the screen.***
step 3: Change to the "commands" tab. This window is split in two. On the left side you you have catagories... On the right you will see the available commands. What you do is, you browse through the catagories until you find a command you want on your toolbar then you drag and drop it onto the new toolbar floating on your screen. Thats it.
step 4: repeat until you have everything you want.
Notes: you can add drop downs and lists in the same way. The "new button" catagory has these options. just drag and drop till your heart's content!
