You can select other toolbars as you work in a document and even design your own. If you put the mouse pointer on a button, a ToolTip description appears below the button to explain the button's function. A more detailed description also appears on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. It is possible to move the toolbars. If you put your mouse pointer on a blank area on a toolbar, clicking and dragging moves the toolbar.
Some people prefer the toolbars at the left or right of the screen display.
Unless it has been turned off, the TipWizard box appears beneath the toolbars. The TipWizard provides tips about more efficient ways to accomplish tasks and suggests related and new features. The TipWizard also offers a tip each time you start Word. Use the up and down arrows to the right of the tip to scroll through the tips that apply to the work you've done since starting Word. The ruler bar is displayed by default, and appears underneath the toolbars.
