Even so Microsofts usual advice is to change the Quick Access Toolbar.

The QAT is certainly easier to change but a single line of buttons isnt always enough.

Microsoft puts the most commonly used features or the most important (to Microsoft) in that left position.

Microsofts analysis over the years confirms that, but does it mean it should be in the prime, left position.

Its far more likely theyll use the keyboard shortcuts (eg Ctrl C, Ctrl X or Ctrl V).

Under the Home tab you can see the groups, Clipboard, Font, Paragraph, Styles and Editing.

Sometimes the buttons are useful, especially the Paste Special options.

Font then Styles, Editing, Paragraph and finally, Clipboard.
