Working with Toolbars

Working with Toolbars

A 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 reposition it, 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. Additional toolbar buttons are available by clicking the Toolbar Options list arrow at the end of the toolbar.

Did You Know?

Toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts are faster than menu commands . You can learn the toolbar button equivalents of menu commands by looking at the toolbar button icon to the left of a menu command. Keyboard shortcuts (such as Ctrl+V) appear to the right of their menu commands. To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold the first key (such as Ctrl), press the second key (such as V), and then release both keys.
