2.3.5 Tool Bar

The Tool Bar is located just below the main menu bar. It contains iconic buttons which provide convenient short cuts for some of the most common operations, such as loading, saving, and printing spreadsheets, various formatting operations, and creating graphs. The NExS tool bar is shown in Figure 2.5.

When the mouse pointer stays in a tool bar button for one second or more, a "tool tip" is displayed below the button.  The tool tip provides a hint as to the function of the button.  Tool tips can be turned on or off from the View menu.

The Bold, Italic, Underline, and Justify buttons display the state of the current cell, or upper left corner of a selected range, by taking on an inverted appearance when the parameters they control are in effect.  For example, if the cell cursor is on cell B3, and cell B3 has the "bold" attribute in effect, the Bold On/Off button on the tool bar will appear inverted, indicating that cell B3 has the bold attribute turned on.  Similarly the Cell Format and Decimal Places tools will change values to indicate the format in effect for the current cell or selected range.
