Navigation bar properties dialog
The best way to edit the labels, links and other attributes of a Navbar, and to add or remove buttons, is
to use the Navigation Bar properties dialog. Double click on a bar to bring up the dialog, or right click on

you to add and remove buttons and menus and to edit the labels and links of each button and menu
entry.

Choose how you want your bar to behave when its length changes as you edit labels and add/remove
buttons. A left justified horizontal bar will grow to the right as you add more buttons or make the button
labels longer. And the left edge of the bar stays in the same place on the page. Similarly a right justified
bar keeps its right edge in the same place and grows to the left. And a center justified
bar grows to left and right equally. Choose the centered option if, for example, you want a horizontal
Navbar centered at the top of your page.
