Getting Started Guide

2) The Add Commands dialog is the same as for adding commands to menus
(Figure 316). Select a category and then the command, and click Add. The
dialog remains open, so you can select several commands. When you have
finished adding commands, click Close. If you insert an item which does not
have an associated icon, the toolbar will display the full name of the item: the
next section describes how to choose an icon for a toolbar command.
3) Back on the Customize dialog, you can use the up and down arrow buttons to
arrange the commands in your preferred sequence.
4) When you are done making changes, click OK to save.
Choosing icons for toolbar commands
Toolbar buttons usually have icons, not words, on them, but not all of the commands
have associated icons.
To choose an icon for a command, select the command and click Modify > Change
icon. On the Change Icon dialog, you can scroll through the available icons, select
one, and click OK to assign it to the command.
Figure 318: Change Icon dialog
To use a custom icon, create it in a graphics program and import it into OOo by
clicking the Import button on the Change Icon dialog. Custom icons must be 16 x 16
or 26 x 26 pixels in size and cannot contain more than 256 colors.
Example: Adding a Fax icon to a toolbar
You can customize OpenOffice.org so that a single click on an icon automatically
sends the current document as a fax.
1) Be sure the fax driver is installed. Consult the documentation for your fax
modem for more information.
2) Choose Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Writer > Print. The dialog
shown in Figure 319 opens.
3) Select the fax driver from the Fax list and click OK.
