Customizing toolbars
You can customize toolbars in several ways, including choosing which icons are
visible and locking the position of a docked toolbar, as described in Chapter 1
(Introducing OpenOffice.org). This section describes how to create new toolbars and
add other icons (commands) to the list of those available on a toolbar.
To get to the toolbar customization dialog, do any of the following:
• On the toolbar, click the arrow at the end of the toolbar and choose Customize
Toolbar.
• Choose View > Toolbars > Customize from the menu bar.
• Choose Tools > Customize from the menu bar and pick the Toolbars page
(Figure 317).
To customize toolbars:
1) In the Save In drop-down list, choose whether to save this changed toolbar for
the application (for example, Writer) or for a selected document.
2) In the section OpenOffice.org <name of the program (example: Writer)>
Toolbars, select from the Toolbar drop-down list the toolbar that you want to
customize.
3) You can create a new toolbar by clicking on the New button, or customize
existing toolbars by clicking on the Toolbar or Modify buttons, and add
commands to a toolbar by clicking on the Add button. These actions are
described below.
4) When you have finished making all your changes, click OK to save them.
