How To Working with Toolbars in Access 2003
A toolbar contains
a collection of buttons you click to select frequently used menu
commands. Most programs open with a Standard toolbar (with commands such
as Save and Print) and a Formatting toolbar (with commands for
selecting fonts and sizes) side by side. You can also display toolbars
designed for specific tasks, such as drawing pictures, importing data,
or creating charts. If you're not using a toolbar or want to reposition
it, you can dock it to the edge of a window or allow it to float in a
separate window. The toolbars are personalized as you work, showing only
the buttons you use most often. Additional toolbar buttons are
available by clicking the Toolbar Options list arrow at the end of the
toolbar.

Did You Know?
Toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts are faster than menu commands.
You can learn the toolbar button equivalents of menu commands by looking
at the toolbar button icon to the left of a menu command. Keyboard
shortcuts (such as Ctrl+V) appear to the right of their menu commands.
To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold the first key (such as Ctrl),
press the second key (such as V), and then release both keys.
