2. Holding the Left mouse button, drag the toolbar to the desired position and release.

Manipulating Toolbars: Resizing a toolbar

To change a toolbar’s size:

1. Place the mouse cursor over either: 1) one of the toolbar’s edges or 2) in the corner of the toolbar.
2. The mouse will change into a Duplex Arrow.
3. Hold down the Left mouse button and drag the toolbar to the desired size.

Note: only the Chart Design Palette, Box Item menu, Data Outline View and Tuto­rials window can be resized; the small toolbars on the upper tool deck cannot be changed.

Toolbars can be hidden and revealed to un– clutter the workspace. In the View tab Show group, a check mark will be present or absent to indicate that the toolbar is visible or hidden.

NOTE: Hidden toolbars will reappear in their previous locations.
