About the Main Toolbar

Instead of navigating through the menu-submenu structure, you can use button-type tools with direct access to the same functions. Tools are grouped into named toolbars and a set or subset of these toolbars forms the Main Toolbar, placed in the upper part of the program window.

Hover with the pointer over a tool to see its name. You can undock any toolbar to drag it into your working area. Once selected, a tool, as a rule, remains active until you select another one.
 

To customize toolbars

1. Choose View > Toolbars, or right-click in the toolbar area for a shortcut menu, and customize your toolbars as follows:

1. • Toggle specific toolbar names to display or hide any of them in the Main Toolbar.

   • Select Reset Toolbars to restore pre-defined settings.

   • Click Hide Toolbars to hide all toolbars.

   • Select Show Button Labels to identify all, some, or none of the buttons with their names. Toolbars throughout this entire Help system are shown without their labels.

   • Select Customize Toolbars to include or exclude specific tools within a toolbar.

1. Click a down arrow symbol to the right of a button to open a drop-down menu. E.g., click the arrow next to the New PDF button to display a set of options for creating a PDF document.
