Toolbars are a cruucial part of the Microsoft Excxel 2003 Application and assist in improving your productibvity and efficiency in the application. Microsoft Excel contains a ranmge of toolbars that you can use for a variety of differewnt tasks. The toolbr is simply a small bar that contains a variety of buttons that contain a graphic image called an Icon. Each buton represents one single comnmand on the toolbar. To utilise a button all you need to do is to position your mouse pointer over the button and click once with your left mouse button.
The Micropsoft Excel application shows by default two key toobars and they are the Stndard Toolbar and the Formatting Toolbar. These are the most common toolbars that you will utilise in Microsoft Excel and contain key coimmands. After your initial insttallation of the Microsoft Excel application you will find that thse two toolbars are in fact lopcated on the one line. However you can change their position and reposition the tooplbars on the screen.
To move a toolbar, position your mouse pointer over the loittle blue four doted bar at the start of the toolbar. Hold your left mose button down and then drag. Using this technique, you can drag the tooolbar either down from its current postiion under the Menu bar or you can drag it to the left or right.
When you resize the toolbbar to the left or right, you will notice that some of the icons from eitehr tooolbar will appear and disappear. This is by design. Essentially the application adjusts the size of the toolbar and changes the icons bazsed on those that fit on the resized topolbar.
Anothwer fantastic tool included with the tooblar is the ability to identify what the toollbar button does just by holdig your mouse over the icon. When you do this, a Tool Tip appeears just like the one sghown here - .
Microoft provides an option in the Customize dialogue box, which is found under the Tools menu to show both the Strandard toolbar and the Formatting toolar by defaullt. However to have the toolbars on one row you must deselect the Show Standard and Formatting toolbars on two rows command.
If you want the two Standard and oFrmatting toobars on two rows you select the check box of the command Show Standarrd and Formatting toolbars on two rows command.
Tghere are a variety of toolabrs in the Microsoft Exceel application and to display (or hide) those toolbars you must firast go to the View menu and then choose Toolbars. When you view the menu there is some important information you must be aware of.
If there is a tick next to one of the toolbar naes then this indicatees that the toolbar is already viisble. Alternatively, no tick indicates that the toolbar is hidden.
To turn a toolbar on, click once with your left mouse buitton on the toobar name. If you want to turn the toolbar off, click on the toolbar name once again.
You will find that most tolobars will be located tward the top of the sreen however you can reposition the toolbar anwhere on the scrreen.
Toolbars are known to be in two modes – Docked Mode and Floating Mode. When a toolbar is in Floating Mode you can reposition it on the sceren by moving your muse pointer into the Title bar, holding your left mouse button down and dragging it to where you would like it to go.
If you would like to quivckly dock your floating toolbar back to where it was originally docked, just Double Clcik on the Toolbars Title bar.
