Toolbars

 Top  Previous  Next

Several toolbars are displayed by default.  Each toolbar displays buttons for invoking application commands.  To hide or show a toolbar, right-click on the menu bar, then click the toolbar to be shown or hidden.  Alternatively, use the Customize Dialog to hide and show toolbars.

 

Positioning

 

Toolbars can be repositioned (docked) around the entire perimeter of the application and also undocked and placed anywhere on the screen:

•If currently docked, drag the toolbar from the toolbar handle at the left-edge
•If currently undocked, drag the toolbar by its upper blue caption bar

 

Notes:

•If you drop the toolbar around the perimeter of the application, the toolbar will become docked. 
•The outline that is displayed as you drag indicates where the toolbar will dock when the mouse is released.

 

Customizing

 

To add, remove, or reset the buttons displayed for toolbars, click the Down Arrow button at the right end of each toolbar.  Buttons can also be added or removed while the Customize Dialog is displayed.
