Context menus
Context menus provide quick access to many menu functions. They are opened by right-clicking
on a paragraph, graphic, or other object. When a context menu opens, the functions or options
available will depend on the object that has been selected. A context menu can be the easiest way
to reach a function, especially if you are not sure where the function is located in the menus or
toolbars.
Status bar
The status bar is located at the bottom of the workspace. It provides information about the
document and convenient ways to quickly change some features. It is similar in Writer, Calc,
Impress, and Draw, but each LibreOffice component includes some component-specific items. An
example of the Writer status bar is shown in Figure 7.
