You can configure your toolbars by choosing colored or uncolored buttons or large or normal buttons; and by choosing whether the buttons display Tool Tips when you point to a button with the mouse.

Once you display a toolbar, you can move it to any location on the screen.

The Visual Toolbar:
The Visual Toolbar lets you easily perform tasks to complete a project without searching for tools in the menus or on the toolbars. Simply click the icon or text indicating the task you want to perform. The Visual Toolbar then leads you to the next set of available options, and even shows you how to use the selected tool.

The information in the Visual Toolbar changes as you perform tasks on the page. Watch the options in the Visual Toolbar change as you select one object, multiple objects, or a group, for example. Click Home to deselect all objects.  Click Back to move back through topics previously displayed in the Visual Toolbar.

Click Insert Objects, Create Shapes, Create Lines, or Create Text to insert different types of objects. These buttons lead you to more options and hints.  To see hints specific to a project you have open, click Project Instructions at the bottom of the Visual Toolbar.

The Effects Gallery
The Effects Gallery makes it easy to apply effects and formats to objects in your drawing. Use the Effects Gallery to apply line, fill, shadow, and text formats. You can also apply image effects and insert clip art from the Effects Gallery.

To open the Effects Gallery, use the Effects Gallery command on the View menu.  The Effects Gallery appears on the right side of the screen. Click one of the seven tabs to view the corresponding options.

You can maximize or minimize the Effects Gallery by clicking the Show/Hide Gallery button located below the tabs. When the Effects Gallery is minimized, the tabs still display on the side. When you click a tab, the Effects Gallery automatically maximizes.

To size the Effects Gallery, place the pointer on the left edge of the maximized Effects Gallery. A size pointer appears. Drag the pointer outward to size the Effects Gallery. You cannot size the Effects Gallery any smaller than the default size.

To configure your toolbars

• On the View menu, click Toolbars. The View Toolbars dialog box appears.
• To display color buttons on the toolbars, select Color Buttons.
• To display large buttons on the toolbars, select Large Buttons.
• To display Tool Tips when you point to a button with the mouse for about two seconds, select Show Tool Tips.
• To display a shortcut menu that lets you show or hide any toolbar, click any toolbar with the right mouse button.

• If the toolbar is anchored, point to a spot on the toolbar that is not a button and drag the toolbar to the location you want. If the toolbar is not anchored, drag the title bar of the toolbar.
• If you drag the toolbar onto the active window, it becomes a floating toolbar.  If you drag the toolbar onto the left, right, top, or bottom borders of the Windows Draw workspace, the toolbar anchors itself to the border.

Tips

To create a vertical floating toolbar, drag the toolbar onto the left workspace border. Then drag it onto the active window.

To create a horizontal floating toolbar, drag the toolbar onto the top workspace border. Then drag it onto the active window.
