I'm trying to stuff as many icons on my Excel bars as I can, and one of the
wasted spaces is the font drop-down menu box--I could easily live with half
of its size.

Does anybody know if and where the default width could be changed, even if
it has to be done with a hex editor?

A related question: How to place additional icons on the Standard menu bar,
where half the space is being wasted as well? I see some add-ins go there,
but I don't know how they are being placed there.
