I am trying to put the Shrink One Page icon on my Word toolbar, but despite going through the process shown in Office support, the option isn't shown in the "All Commands" list (it jumps from "show/'hide editing marks" to "side to side" - see attached screenshot)


I'm sure there's some simple thing I've missed, eg a drop-down menu, but can anybody help as I've already spent too much time on it this morning :(


In the past I've done it through "Tell me what you want to do" , but that's just ridiculously slow when I could just click on an icon.


Thanks.

Hello Sue,


I have Office 2016 and this option does not show. Below are the instructions for 2007, 2010 2013.

Looking at your screenshot you have navigated by the view tab!

Start Word.

Click the File tab, click Options, and then click Customize Ribbon.

In the Choose commands from drop-down list, select All Commands.

Scroll through the list until you reach Shrink One Page, and then click it.

Thanks I will have a look, but I didn't navigate via view.


I think I clicked on view in case there was some additional option there when I couldn't find what I was looking for in the list!


ETA: OK I have done that.


There is nothing on that list between "Shrink font" and "Size" :(


No "Shrink one page" that I can see ....

Hi Sue


Here is a short Video on how to do this.




Having said that could not find it in my Word 2016 version.

I'm using Windows 10 and many things don't seem to work that should.


Basically Click the little down 'V' at top of page..


Select More Commands


Select from dropdown select All Commands and select shrink one page


Hope that helps

That works.. To set it up you need to create a 2 page document which you do not need to save.

If you don't create a 2 page document you will get an error message.

Well its not obvious because you are just Setting Up the facility to the Ribbon.

Once set up the option will still show up in the Ribbon regardless of how many pages there are in the current document.


You do not need to go through the procedure every time.

In order to set it up, Foxy, you need to have an appropriate document to use it on, ie more than one page, because that's how this set up process works.


And of course you don't need to go through the procedure every time, because that's the whole point of putting an icon on the quick access toolbar.


And of course the icon will always show on the ribbon regardless of whether you need to use it or not, once you've put it there!!!


Thanks Inbound.


I found I could only right-click on the option once it had become "recently used" in the "tell me what you want to do" space, as the first time it just performed the shrinking immediately before I could right-click on it, but other than that it was very straightforward.

    • The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here. Have a look at this -   
    • A beer in the garden would have been nice, I'm sure! Mine was a meal inside. I don't remember much about it except that it was horrible.
    • Went to the Harvester a couple of times to have a beer in the garden, it was quite popular and had a 'certain' charm. 
    • I never went in The Grove when it was a pub, but I had a meal there once when it was a Harvester (I used to occasionally be a Mystery Shopper, and I was persuaded to go and have this meal because it was a bank holiday and they couldn't find anyone else to do it.) It was truly horrible. At least I got paid for eating it, albeit not very much, but I think I would have paid not to have to eat it. If it becomes an "affordable" restaurant again, I hope at least it has decent food. Why do "these youngsters" need "adult help" to be enterprising? They aren't six year olds!
