Creating and Customizing a Toolbar
In addition to displaying the default toolbars, you can create or customize toolbars. Once you create a toolbar, it acts just like a default toolbar allowing you to add, remove, and rearrange buttons.
Creating a Custom Toolbar
- Activate a window.
- From the desktop Menu bar, click View > Application Toolbars > Customize or click the Toolbar Options arrow to the right of each toolbar. The Customize dialog is displayed.
- Click the Toolbars tab.
- Click New.
- In the Toolbar name field, enter the toolbar name (i.e. "Top 10 Functions Used").
- Click OK when finished. A toolbar is displayed at the top of the desktop. The new toolbar is ready to have toolbar button commands (icons) added to it.
- Click Apply when finished to save the new toolbar.
Adding Toolbar Icons to a Toolbar
- From the Customize dialog, click the Commands tab. The Categories list displays all the categories of commands into which the available buttons have been organized.
- From the Commands section, click and drag each command button desired into the new toolbar.
The toolbar will increase in size as you
add more buttons.
- Repeat step 9 until all the icons have been added into the toolbar.
- Click Apply when finished to save the buttons to the new toolbar.
Renaming a Custom Toolbar
You are asked to give your custom toolbar a name when you create them. However, you can rename them at any time.
- Activate a window.
- From the desktop Menu bar, click View > Application Toolbars > Customize. The Customize dialog is displayed.
- Click the Toolbars tab.
- From the Toolbars section, highlight the custom toolbar to rename.
- Under Toolbar Properties, in the Name box, type a new name for the toolbar.
The Toolbar Properties section is unavailable when the default toolbar is highlighted.
- Click Apply when done.
Deleting a Custom Toolbar
There may be a time when you no longer need a toolbar that you created and want to remove it from the list. You can only delete custom toolbars. Although you can choose not to display a default toolbar, you cannot delete a default toolbar.
- Activate a window.
- From the desktop Menu bar, click View > Application Toolbars > Customize. The Customize dialog is displayed.
- Click the Toolbars tab.
- From the Toolbars section, select the toolbar name to delete.
- Click Delete. The toolbar is now deleted from the toolbar section.
