It is the access point to the options and tools of the program. It has a conventional form and is where we can locate all the material. They are arranged in a grouped and ordered way through drop-down menus.
Standard toolbar
It is a toolbar that stands out above the others. In it we can find the most used options such as: open file, save a file, cut, copy, paste, print.
We also find the help button, zoom or the icons that activate or deactivate the toolbars. We also have the sidebars or the multimedia gallery.
Tool icon selector bar
This bar is used to select the groups of tool icons that we want to show. Over the years, many of them have been incorporated.
In turn, the authors have been forced to put a selector so that the user can select the icon of the tool more conveniently. We can highlight: format, design, document elements, tables, graphics, revision.
Tools icons
In this bar all tool icons are shown depending on the selected group. All of them have a short legend that describes their function, which appears when we position ourselves in an icon and wait 2 seconds.
The most characteristic and we have all used at some time, are the format icons where we can select the source to use. In it we can enlarge it, color it, italicize, center the text, insert an image, etc.
Scrollbars
We have vertical and horizontal scroll bars, here we can navigate through the document from top to bottom and from left to right.
In addition, in this area we can paginate the document in a simple way and even access a selector. This is where we can move quickly or search and replace text in the document in different ways.
For example: p or modifications, by comments, by sections, by fields, by graphics, by tables, by titles, by notes, etc.
Bar of document views and status
Here we can change the layout of the document view in the lower left using different views: Draft, Outline, Design, Printing, Notepad and Full screen.
