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.
Creating a new toolbar:
| 1. | Display the Customize Dialog. |
| 2. | On the Toolbars tab, click the New... button. |
| 3. | Enter an appropriate name for the new toolbar, then click OK. |
| 4. | Add buttons to this new toolbar. |
| 5. | Close the dialog. |
| 6. | Reposition your new toolbar as desired. |
To delete a toolbar, click the Delete button (if it is disabled, then the selected toolbar is a system toolbar and can't be deleted). To reset a toolbar to its default settings, click the Reset button.
Appearance
Several options related to toolbars and the menu bar can be customized as well. These options are viewed and changed on the Options tab of the Customize Dialog.
