Using the button bar
When you open an AppleWorks document, you see the button bar at the top
of the document window (below the menu bar). The button bar saves time by
providing shortcuts to activities that would otherwise take several steps to
complete. The button bar is preset to include buttons for some common
AppleWorks actions.
To change the way you work with the button bar, you can:
1
show or hide it
1
change its position
1
customize its appearance
1
add or remove buttons
1
create your own buttons to perform the tasks you choose (see “Creating
and editing custom buttons” on page 9-28).
There are several preset button bars. You can switch to a different one or
create your own button bar. For more information, see “Creating your own
button bar” on page 3-7.
Switching button bars
You can display only one button bar at a time, and the buttons on the button
bar change depending on the type of document. The Default button bars
include buttons for the most common actions for the current document type.
