toolbars
Toolbars consist of groups of icons (pictures) that represent their function. For example, the Print icon displays a picture of a printer.
To find out what a button does, simple hover the mouse over it and a screen tip will appear, explaining its function.
It is likely that the screen will be displaying the Standard and the Formatting Toolbars by default. If not, click on the View menu and select Toolbars, then click on the required toolbar to place a tick against it:
The same method can be used to hide a toolbar when not in use, i.e. deselect the toolbar by clicking on it again to remove the tick.
A quicker way to show/hide toolbars is to right click on a toolbar. This will display the same list of toolbars. Select or deselect in the normal way.
