<title>Toolbars</title>
|
|
<para>&kspread; has five toolbars: <guilabel>File</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Edit</guilabel>, <guilabel>Navigation</guilabel>,
|
|
<guilabel>Format</guilabel> and <guilabel>Color/Border</guilabel>.
|
|
each of which may or may not be shown depending on the choices made in the
|
|
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu.</para>
|
|
<para>You can choose whether a toolbar appears at the <guimenuitem>Top</guimenuitem>,
|
|
<guimenuitem>Left</guimenuitem>, <guimenuitem>Right</guimenuitem> or
|
|
<guimenuitem>Bottom</guimenuitem> of &kspread;'s window by <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> clicking on
|
|
the toolbar, which brings up the <guilabel>Toolbar Menu</guilabel>, and making
|
|
a selection from the <guisubmenu>Orientation</guisubmenu> sub menu. This
|
|
<guilabel>Toolbar Menu</guilabel> also has sub menus for choosing whether the
|
|
toolbar displays icons, text or both, and the size of the icons.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Another way of moving a toolbar is by positioning the mouse pointer over
|
|
the two vertical bars at the left end of each toolbar and holding the
|
|
<mousebutton>left</mousebutton> mouse button down while you drag the toolbar
|
|
to the wanted position. When you drag the toolbar in this way you can release
|
|
the mouse button when it is some distance from any of &kspread;'s window
|
|
sides, and then you will get a floating toolbar, which is not locked to any
|
|
particular part of &kspread;'s window and can in fact be moved outside of
|
|
the window. To put a floating toolbar back into one of the traditional
|
|
positions <mousebutton>right</mousebutton> click on its titlebar to bring
|
|
up the <guilabel>Toolbar Menu</guilabel> then choose one of the options in
|
|
the <guisubmenu>Orientation</guisubmenu> sub menu.</para>
|
|
<para>You can also <quote>flatten</quote> a toolbar by <mousebutton>left
|
|
</mousebutton> clicking on the two vertical bars at the left end of the
|
|
toolbar or by selecting <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Orientation</guisubmenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Flat</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the <guilabel>Toolbar
|
|
Menu</guilabel>. A <quote>flattened</quote> toolbar appears as a small
|
|
rectangle containing two horizontal bars just under &kspread;'s Menubar. It
|
|
can be restored to normal by <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> clicking on it.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>Selecting <guimenuitem>Configure Toolbars...</guimenuitem> from the
|
|
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu will bring up a dialog box which lets you add
|
|
buttons to or remove them from &kspread;'s toolbars.</para>
|
|
<para>To use this <guilabel>Configure Toolbars</guilabel> dialog box first
|
|
select a toolbar from the <guilabel>Toolbar:</guilabel> combo box. The
|
|
right hand <guilabel>Current actions:</guilabel> window will then show the
|
|
buttons currently present on the toolbar. You can remove a button by selecting
|
|
it in this window then pressing the left arrow button, or move it around by
|
|
pressing the up and down arrow buttons. To add a new button to the toolbar
|
|
select it in the <guilabel>Available actions:</guilabel> list then press the
|
|
right arrow button.</para>
