Hi Susan, Toolbars contain different options such as for example in Microsoft Word it might contain buttons for saving a document, a button for adding bulleted lists to a file or basically contain buttons for performing a range of different tasks. Toolbars can be program dependant in that a toolbar in one application would be different in another application and reflect only items that this program can perform. In Internet Explorer for instance on a toolbar you might find a search box where you can type in words you wish to search for on the internet, buttons that move you back and forth through web pages, pull up your email program and help you add an attachment to an email etc. Toolbars are just ways for mostly sighted persons to do something quickly by clicking the mouse on a button and it's done. Are you having any issues or wish to do something using a toolbar Susan?.
