Moving the Toolbars

All PowerPoint toolbars can be moved or docked to any side of the PowerPoint window. As well, docked toolbars, including the Standard Toolbar, the Formatting Toolbar, and the Drawing Toolbar, can be converted to floating toolbars.  A move handle on the left or top of the toolbar indicates that the toolbar is docked. A title bar indicates that the toolbar is floating.

Steps to move toolbars to a new location:-

·         Click the move handle on a docked toolbar, or click the title bar on a floating toolbar.

·         Holding down the mouse button, drag the toolbar to the new location.

Docking a toolbar
Try docking the Common Tasks toolbar to the top of the PowerPoint window. This will give you more working area on your PowerPoint window.

·         Click the title bar on the Common Tasks toolbar.

·         Drag the toolbar upwards, until the toolbar outline snaps into place along the edge of the program window.

If you see move handles on the toolbar, you know it is successfully docked.
