I did not know that I could do it: Press "tools" and then "customize". Then
drop and drag all the icons (such as text formatting icons) to the toolbar
where it contains menus file, edit, view etc. In this way you can get rid of
two toolbars.
Saves space and looks better!

You can also move the toolbars around - drag and drop one to the bottom
or side of the screen for instance. Just grab the dotted vertical
handle at the left end of the toolbar with your mouse, hold the left
button down and drag drop wherever you want.

Thanks, that I knew. But I think my point is more likely that it is
unnoticed. I was surprised to see it happening.

Dragging the toolbars around is one thing.
Your approach is something totally different!
The method you posted is really valuable. The more as OneNote - contrary
to some other apps like IE - dies not allow to drag a toolbar to the
menubar.

Thanks for posting your recipe.

P.S. A while ago I found a way to better accommodate the PowerToys'
icons. I'll follow your example and post it the other day.
P.P.S. Really strange: I can not see Ben's posting in my newsreader
(WinMail)

I've done the same thing in Outlook, but I just like to have more
toolbar items available in OneNote than I can fit on only one toolbar,
so I usually just use the rearranging-the-toolbar-positions approach
like you do. Minimus' approach also works on all the other Office
components, too, so it's a good one to file away.

The only "toolbar" item I wish MS would implement in Office is the
ability to "lock" the position of the toolbars, much like the option for
the XP/Vista taskbar's "Lock the taskbar" option. As a Help Desk guy, I
get a lot of calls from people who have lost their toolbars by dragging
them off to some odd location by accident. Having the option to lock
them into position until they need to be changed would be a welcome
feature in the next release.
