Introduction
In Impress there are several toolbars available to help in creating a presentation. Each toolbar
has a default set of tools and the option to add additional tools to a toolbar.

Note
The icons displayed in the Impress toolbars illustrated in this appendix may differ
from what is displayed on a computer screen. Toolbar icons depend on thecomputer operating system being used and how LibreOffice has been set up. For
more information on customizing LibreOffice and the toolbars, see the Getting
Started Guide.

Using toolbars
Displaying toolbars
To display and make a toolbar active, go to View > Toolbars on the Menu bar. A submenu openswith an alphabetical list of toolbars available for creating presentations in LibreOffice Impress.
Click on a toolbar name to display it and make it active. Active toolbars are indicated byhighlighting or a check mark next to the toolbar name.

Note
Some toolbars when selected in View > Toolbars on the Menu bar do not display
until an object of the correct type is selected in a presentation. For example, theImage toolbar only displays when an image is selected.

Closing toolbars
To close a toolbar, use one of the following methods:• Go to View > Toolbars on the Menu bar and deselect the toolbar.
• Right-click in a blank area on a toolbar and select Close Toolbar from the context menu.
• Click on the X in the right corner of the title bar of a floating toolbar.

Figure 1: Toolbar moving handles

Moving toolbars
Docked toolbars
By default, some toolbars are docked into position in the Impress main window. For example, theStandard toolbar is docked at the top of the main window. Docked toolbars can be undocked andmoved to a new docked position on the main window or left as a floating toolbar.
1) Move the cursor over the small vertical handle at the left end of the toolbar, as shown in
Figure 1. The cursor changes to the moving cursor used for the computer system andsetup.
2) Click and drag the toolbar to a new location. This can be a new docked position or a floating
toolbar. A hashed border appears around the toolbar indicating the toolbar position as it isdragged.
3) Release the cursor when the required position is reached.

Note
If the small vertical bar is not visible at the left end of a docked toolbar, then the
toolbar is locked into position. A docked toolbar must be unlocked before it can be
moved to a new position in the Impress main window. See “Locking toolbars” onpage 7 for more information.

Floating toolbars
1) To move a floating toolbar, click on its title bar and drag it to a new floating location.
2) Release the cursor when the toolbar is in the required position.

Note
A floating toolbar does not have to be positioned on the Impress main window for
it to function.

Floating sub-toolbars
Some tools on a toolbar have a triangle ▼ to the right of the tool indicating that more tools areavailable on a sub-toolbar, for example Basic Shapes on the Drawing toolbar. Sub-toolbars canbe turned into floating toolbars and moved into a new position as follows:
1) Move the cursor over the horizontal handle at the top of the toolbar, as shown in Figure 2.
The cursor changes to the moving cursor used for the computer system and setup.
2) Click and drag the toolbar to a new location to create a floating sub-toolbar.
3) Release the cursor when the required position is reached.
4) To close the floating sub-toolbar, right-click on the triangle ▼ in the sub-toolbar title bar
and select Close Toolbar from the context menu, or click on the X at the right end of the
sub-toolbar title bar.

Figure 2: Creating floating toolbar

Docking toolbar
To dock a floating toolbar, use one of the following methods:• Click on the title bar and drag it to the top, bottom, left side, or right side of the main
window. When the toolbar reaches a docking position, a hashed border appears at thedocked position. Release the cursor and the toolbar is docked.
• Right-click on the toolbar and select Dock Toolbar from the context menu. The toolbar
moves into a docked position. If the position is not suitable, move the toolbar to a new
docked position.
• To dock all floating toolbars that are active, right-click on the toolbar and select Dock All
Toolbars from the context menu.

Locking toolbars
Docked toolbars
When a toolbar has been docked into position on the Impress main window, the toolbar can also
be locked into position preventing the toolbar from becoming a floating toolbar.
• To lock a toolbar into a docked position, right-click in a blank area on the toolbar andselect Lock Toolbar Position from the context menu. A check mark appears against thisoption indicating the toolbar is now locked.
• To unlock a toolbar, right-click in a blank area on the toolbar and click on Lock Toolbar
Position in the context menu. The check mark next to this option disappears indicating
the toolbar is now unlocked. A small vertical or horizontal bar appears at the left end or
top of the toolbar indicating that the toolbar is unlocked. This bar is also is used to movethe toolbar.

Note
Some toolbars cannot be docked or locked into position. This is indicated by the
options Dock Toolbar and/or Lock Toolbar Position being grayed out, making
the options unavailable.

Locking sub-toolbars
To prevent sub-toolbars from becoming floating sub-toolbars, sub-toolbars have to be locked asfollows:
1) Save the presentation that is open in Impress.
2) Go to View > Toolbars on the Menu bar and select Lock Toolbars from the submenu.

Using toolbars | 73) Select Restart Now in the Restart LibreOffice dialog that opens to activate the Lock
Toolbars option.
4) To unlock sub-toolbars so they can become floating sub-toolbars, repeat Steps 1 thru 3.
The Lock Toolbars option is an on/off switch.

Note
Using the Lock Toolbars option affects ALL toolbars and sub-toolbars available
in all LibreOffice modules.

Editing toolbars
When LibreOffice is installed on a computer, it includes a set of toolbars suitable for each
LibreOffice component. Each toolbar has a default set of visible tools. Tools can be added ordeleted, and toolbars can be customized.

Adding tools
1) Right-click in a blank area on a toolbar, or click on the triangle ▼ on the right of thetoolbar title bar.
2) Select Visible Buttons from the context menu to display a list of available tools.
3) Click on the tool required and the tool appears in the toolbar. The list of available tools
closes automatically. If there is a highlight or check mark next to the tool, then that tool isalready installed on the toolbar.

Note
When adding tools using Visible Buttons, the tool is added to the toolbar at thesame position as the tool appears in the Visible Buttons list. That is, the top toolin Visible Buttons appears at the left end of the toolbar and the bottom tool
appears at the right end of the toolbar. Tool positions cannot be changed using
Visible Buttons.

Deleting tools
1) Right-click in a blank area on a toolbar, or click on the triangle ▼ on the right of thetoolbar title bar.
2) Select Visible Buttons from the context menu to display a list of available tools.
3) Click on the tool no longer required and the tool is removed from the toolbar. The highlightor check mark next to the tool is also removed. The list of available tools closes
automatically.

Customizing toolbars
Extra tools and commands that are not available in Visible Buttons can be added to a toolbar
using customization. Customization also allows the creation of new toolbars if a specific set oftools are required for a specific task. For information on customizing toolbars, see the Getting
Started Guide.

Notes
The available tools listed for each toolbar below are all available for installation ona toolbar when Visible Buttons is opened in the context menu for each toolbar.
The tools already installed on a toolbar are indicated in Visible Buttons either by
the tool icon being highlighted or by a check mark. This install indication depends
on computer setup and computer operating system being used.
On some toolbars, the icons have a triangle ▼ to the right of an icon. Click on thistriangle to open further options that are available for use.
Some of the tools in the toolbars also have the option of using a keyboard
shortcut instead of clicking on the tool. For a full list of keyboard shortcuts that areavailable in Impress, see Appendix A, Keyboard Shortcuts.
