Standard and Message Edit toolbars

Two toolbars are located at the top of the application window. Tools
provide easy access to commonly used commands. Instead of
opening a menu and choosing a command, simply click a tool to
carry out an action. Some tools complete the action immediately;
others open a dialog or a menu for further input.

Note: Tools on a toolbar can be accessed only with a mouse. All
toolbar commands are available on one of the menus or in the
Applications area.

Standard Toolbar

Message Edit Toolbar

Message Edit Box

To identify a tool, move the cursor arrow to the tool. Press and hold
the left mouse button while watching the status bar.

If the tool is correct, release the mouse button.

If the tool is not correct, move the cursor off the icon before
releasing the mouse button.

Note: Appendix B lists all the available tools and briefly explains
what each one does.

To toggle the Standard Toolbar on and off:

1. Choose View from the menu bar.

2. Choose Toolbar from the View menu.

A check mark (

n

) appears next to the Toolbar command when it is

active. To disable the Toolbar command, choose the command again.

Note: The Message Edit toolbar cannot be turned off.
