Toolbar

Some windows also have a toolbar just below the menu bar. The toolbar provides one-click access to
the most frequently used menu commands. Most toolbars provide ToolTips, a brief description that
appears on the screen after you rest the mouse pointer on the button for a few seconds. Other
programs, including WordPad, might show the descriptive text for the button you’re pointing to down in
the status bar.
Toolbars are optional in most programs. You can turn them on and off using options from that program’s
View menu. Some programs even offer customizable toolbars (although WordPad isn’t one of them). If
a toolbar can be customized, right-clicking the toolbar and choosing Customize from its shortcut menu
will take you to the options for customizing the toolbar. For future reference, keep in mind that if you’re
looking to learn more about the toolbars in a specific program, you can open that program’s help system
and search for the word toolbar.
