The toolbars

Across the top of the window are the toolbars. The toolbars contain buttons and drop-down lists that enable you to format and manipulate the text quickly and easily, without needing to open the menus.

There are several different toolbars, each grouping buttons and controls of similar function. Here are three of the most common toolbars in Write:

The standard toolbar is common to all applications and contains basic file opening, closing, saving, printing, editing, searching and zoom functions:

The format toolbar contains text styling options for fonts and paragraphs, and also and allows you to define border and background styles for paragraphs:

You can always get help on what each button does by moving the mouse pointer over it - a yellow box, or tooltip, containing a brief description is displayed.

Note: If you cannot see a particular toolbar, open the View menu and click on the Toolbars command - make a selection from the list of toolbars. The screen will be redrawn and the toolbar shown.
