In addition to customizing the global Quick Access Toolbar to make a set of buttons available for all presentations, you can customize the Quick Access Toolbar for a specific pres-entation. For example, to work with a presentation that contains slides with graphically complex designs, you might want to increase your efficiency by providing one-click access to commands that allow you to turn the rulers and gridlines on or off without switching to the View tab.
