Change the Width of Toolbar Controls

As you try to squeeze another button on your toolbar, you might wish for a wider toolbar. You can't expand the toolbar beyond the Access container window, but you CAN reduce the amount of space taken up by text boxes and drop-down lists such as the Font, Font Size, and Zoom controls on your toolbars.

To narrow (or widen) these text-based toolbar buttons, start by right-clicking any toolbar and choosing Customize. With the Customize dialog box displayed, select the text box on the toolbar by clicking it. Move the pointer over the box's right border to change the pointer to a vertical bar with left- and right-pointing arrows. At this point, click and drag the border in or out. Finally, click the Close button
