Regardless of application or program the tool bar can always be accessed with alt/t. The items listed there are pertinant to the application or program you are in when you access it. For example, in word the tool bar contains word count, auto summarize etc. hth, Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Diaz Russell To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 10:23 AM Subject: Tool bar Dear list, I have been looking at the various bars on the screen lately. I can cope with the menu bar, but how do I access the tool bar and what is it on it? Many thanks! Andrew
