SUMMARY
PowerPoint enables you to customize the contents and the position of toolbars. This article describes how to reset PowerPoint to the default toolbar settings.



Method 1: Restore the Default Icons Only
To restore the default icons to one or more toolbars, but not restore their default positions, follow these steps:  On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Customize. Click the Toolbars tab. Click the name of the toolbar you want to reset. Click Reset. Click OK when you see the following message:

Are you sure you want to reset the changes made to the '' toolbar?

 Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional toolbar you want to reset.</ol>

Method 2: Restore the Default Icons and Position
NOTE: This workaround removes all custom settings you have made, not just changes to the toolbars.

To restore the toolbars to their default set of icons and positions, follow these steps:
 * 1) Close PowerPoint.
 * 2) Delete the PowerPoint Settings (8) file. This file is typically located in the System:Preferences folder.
 * 3) Restart PowerPoint.

PowerPoint resets the toolbars to their default values and positions.
