Organizing Toolbars. As we noted in a previous tutorial, a toolbar is really just a series of buttons and the idea is to provide you with the commonly used options, so that you can have everything you need in one simple interface. You can be working on your text in a slide here, move up to a toolbar, and click an option that you need. This prevents you from having to wade through so many menus to look for the options that you want. In other words, it makes PowerPoint easier to use and makes your work a little faster. There are a number of different toolbars besides the common ones that you see here. I am actually showing the draw toolbar, which I am going to put down at the bottom, and I have a formatting toolbar across the top and also a standard toolbar. They run together but, again, here is my arrow and I can just move it down. Now there are other toolbars available as well, and these aren't used as much because the common ones that you most often use are put here. However, if you click view, then point to toolbars, and you will see in a box that pops out all the different toolbar options that are available. As you can see, I am using the standard, the formatting toolbar, drawing toolbar, and also the task pane is actually a toolbar, and it's in view as well. Now if I want to use an additional toolbar, all I have to do is click that toolbar option. For example, there is a toolbar called picture. If I want it, I just click it and now here it is. And remember that I can drag this toolbar around and add it anyplace that I want, even move it to the side if I want it there, and you will see how to use some of these toolbars in later tutorials. But for the moment, let me give you a very quick overview of what your options are. If you go back to view - toolbars, again the standard toolbar gives you standard options such as open, save, close, and so forth. Formatting allows you to make formatting changes generally to text on a toolbar. You have a control toolbar, as well; If you take a look at it, it will allow you to insert buttons and different features on slides, which we will learn about later. You also have the drawing toolbar, which appears by default at the bottom of your screen. You have an outlining toolbar, which if I click that, I have an outlining toolbar that will appear here, and it's all grayed out since I am not working with anything, but it allows me to manage outlines better on screen. Again, the picture toolbar, as we noted, helps you manage pictures. The review toolbar actually helps you work on your presentation, as you can see it here. If a number of people are editing your presentation, they can make comments and you can work with the comments from this reviewing toolbar. You also have a revisions pane and this is the same idea; you will be able to see any revisions that are made on slides from different people working on it. A tables and borders toolbar and here you can see the options; this will help you draw tables and borders, and you will work with it some later on in the tutorial. The task pane, which we have already talked about. You can also access a Visual Basic toolbar if you are doing any programming; a web toolbar, which will basically give you a browser-type window so you can move backwards, forwards, and access web pages directly from within PowerPoint; and a word art toolbar that helps you format some text and give it some special effects that we will take a look at later. As you can see, there are a number of different toolbars, and the purpose again of toolbars is to make your life easier. As you begin working with different presentations, you will probably find certain toolbars are really helpful to you. Some you will use from time to time but not very often, but it is important to remember that you can always click view toolbars, and choose any toolbar that you want to use at any time.
