Tool bars on word,excel, Power point

I am brand new to MAC's and love them except I am having a very hard time in MS office for Mac. Specifically with the tool bars. How do I put them on the screen all the time but not take up all the area with toolbars. I spend more time trying to find button like Merge Cells than it would take me to do it on a Windows machine. There has got to be a way to make this easier for me to use. Can anyone help me?

Hi Keith:

A couple of things that will help:

1) Use Customise to make your OWN toolbars. Then you can put on them all
the stuff you actually USE, and leave off all the eye-candy that hangs
around to amaze the easily-impressed :)

2) On the Mac, you can safely place toolbars off the screen, leaving only
their near end showing. You would have learned not to do this on Windows
because it used to crash Windows. Well, it won't crash Mac OS :)

Tell us which OS and version of Word you're using, and we may be able to
help some more.

Cheers
