Tool Bars
The Tool/Menu bar is divided into several separate parts. One part is the main menu, the others are the individual tool bars. The main menu can be detached and made to float above the page. Click on the double bar at the beginning of the menu bar, and drag the menu bar wherever you wish. You may dock the menu bar back in its original position, or on any of the other three sides of the window.
The individual tool bars may also be rearranged or dragged over the page display, or docked in other places. Again, click on the double vertical bar at the beginning of a tool bar to move it.
Tool bars and menus may be customized. It is possible to add or remove commands from the menus or tool bar, and it is possible for you to create your own tool bars. To do any of these things, right-click in an unused are of the tool-bar area. A customization dialog box will appear when you do this. To add or delete commands from a tool bar, the tool bar must be floating over the page display. You cannot change a tool-bar while it is docked in any position. As long as the customization tool box is displayed, you can drag commands onto tool bars and menus. You can also drag commands off a tool bar and menu to remove them.
To learn more about menu commands see Cell Editor Menu Commands.
