Working with Toolbars Each Office toolbar contains a collection of buttons you click to select frequently used menu commands. Most programs open with a Standard toolbar (with commands such as Save and Print) and a Formatting toolbar (with commands for selecting fonts and sizes) side by side. You can also display toolbars designed for specific tasks , such as drawing pictures, importing data, or creating charts . If you're not using a toolbar or want to position it in another place, you can hide or move it. When you move a toolbar, you can dock it to the edge of a window or allow it to float in a separate window. The toolbars are personalized as you work, showing only the buttons you use most often.
