Word for Mac 2016 - missing features

Question

I recently (and reluctantly) left Word 2011 behind and moved to Word 2016. While it's generally OK, there are some features od 2011 that I can't find in 2016. I am hoping someone can assist.

I would like to have certain commands available on either the QAT or a separate group in Home tab:

• Organizer (to copy styles from my templates into other documents)
• Keep with next (usually to move first line of a table to next page)
• Format Document 

I can't find them in the Ribbon & Toolbar preferences pane. I used these a lot in 2011 and can't believe MS would further deprecate a tool used by PowerUsers.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

Some of what you listed has been relocated but most remains the same :-)

Sounds like you've already found this: To modify the Ribbon/QAT go to Word> Preferences - Ribbon & Toolbar. If you have a current subscription there will be 2 pages: one for the QAT, the other for the Ribbon. (If you have a Retail License there will be no page for customizing the Ribbon. It would have to be done programmatically.) Note that not all commands are available. However, keyboard shortcuts can be assigned if they don't already exist.

The button for accessing Organizer can be found in several ways, but not added to the Ribbon/QAT:

• Tools> Templates & Add-Ins
• Tools> Macro- Macros
• Format> Style

Keep with Next is a paragraph formatting attribute found in Format> Paragraph - Line & Page Breaks. It's listed as Para Keep With Next in the Commands Not in the Ribbon grouping.

Format Document is in the menu by that name: Format> Document but it's listed under All Commands as Custom Margins.
