Operation Manual

Note
You can also dock a floating toolbar by holding down the Ctrl key and double-clicking in
the title bar of the toolbar.
Floating toolbars
LibreOffice includes several additional toolbars, whose default setting appear as floating toolbars in
response to the current position of the cursor or selection. You can dock these toolbars to the top
or bottom of the main window, or reposition them on your computer display (see “Moving toolbars”
above).
Some of these additional toolbars are context sensitive and will automatically appear depending on
the position of the cursor. For example, when the cursor is in a table, a Table toolbar appears, and
when the cursor is in a numbered or bullet list, the Bullets and Numbering toolbar appears.
Customizing toolbars
You can customize toolbars in several ways, including choosing which icons are visible and locking
the position of a docked toolbar. You can also add icons and create new toolbars, as described in
Chapter 14 Customizing LibreOffice. To access the customization options for a toolbar, right-click in
an empty space between the icons on a toolbar to open a context menu as follows:
• To show or hide icons defined for the selected toolbar, click Visible Buttons. Visible icons
on a toolbar are indicated by an outline around the icon (Figure 6) or by a check mark
beside the icon, depending on your operating system. Select or deselect icons to hide or
show them on the toolbar.
