KWord offers the user great flexibility when it comes to toolbars. This first section will show you some of the many options you have for relocating, reformatting and removing toolbars from your desktop.
When you startup KWord, all the several toolbars are visible. If you don't think you will need a toolbar, and want to reclaim that desktop space, you have two options. You can hide the toolbars or you can temporarily flatten the toolbars.
Each toolbar has a stippled area to the left (or on top) of the toolbar buttons. By clicking on this area, the toolbar will be minimized.
Once a toolbar is flat, this stipled area moves up near the menubar.
Clicking on this area will restore the toolbar to its original size.
Note
Alternatively place the cursor over on the toolbar you want to flatten, and click with the right mouse button.
The mouse must be on the background of the toolbar, not over a button to use this option.
A small menu will appear at the mouse cursor. Select Flat.
To restore this menu to its original size and position, place the mouse cursor over the stipled area near the menu bar, and click with the right mouse button.
A small menu will appear at the mouse cursor. Select UnFlat.
Toolbars can be located on the screen in 4 places.
Top, Bottom, Left and Right refer to the edges of the KWord screen.
By locating a tool bar in the Bottom position, for example, you move the toolbar into a horizontal position below the Document Area, and along the bottom of the KWord window. By locating a tool bar in the Left position,however, you move the toolbar into a verticle position to the left of the Document Area, and along the left edge of the KWord window.
Multiple toolbars can be located at each of these points in the screen. (You could, for instance, move all the toolbars to the top of the screen). KWord will shuffle toolbars around, to fit in the most compact way at that location.
There are two ways of moving your toolbars:
Toolbars can have their buttons displayed different ways. Below are examples of the four options for the "File" toolbar.
To change the appearance of a toolbar, place the cursor over on the toolbar you want to minimize, and click with the right mouse button.
A small menu will appear at the mouse cursor. Select Text position. This will open a submenu, select your preference from the list.
