About toolbars
Each type of FirstClass window has its own toolbar. Toolbar buttons provide shortcuts to a number of common commands. These buttons are an alternative to choosing a command from the menu. You can specify which buttons are on a toolbar, the order in which they appear, and whether they include text.
Toolbar buttons have tooltips that show the button name. A fuller description is provided at the same time in the status bar.
Showing and hiding toolbars
To show a toolbar, choose View > Toolbars > Show Toolbar.
To hide a toolbar, choose View > Toolbars > Hide Toolbar.
Moving toolbars
To move a toolbar, drag the handle at the left side of the toolbar (or at the top, if the toolbar is vertical).
You can drag the toolbar to the top, bottom, left, or right side of the window.
Adding toolbar buttons
To add a button to the toolbar:
1 Choose View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars.
2 Locate the button you want by choosing the appropriate category at "Categories".
For example, to locate the Clear button, choose Edit.
As is the case for buttons already on the toolbar, buttons in the "Buttons" field have tooltips containing the button names. A fuller description is displayed at the same time at "Description".
3 Drag the button you want to the desired location on the toolbar.
To add a spacer between buttons, drag the spacer symbol located under "Spacer" to the desired location on the toolbar.
 TipWith the Customize Toolbars form open, you can also drag buttons from one toolbar to another. Dragging a button moves it. Control-dragging (Windows, Linux) or Option-dragging (Mac OS, Mac OS X) a button copies it.
You can also add FirstClass objects to toolbars.
Changing the order of toolbar buttons
To change the order of buttons on a toolbar:
1 Choose View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars.
2 Drag the buttons and spacers on the toolbar to their new locations.
3 Click Close on the Customize Toolbars form.
Displaying text on toolbar buttons
By default, FirstClass displays only icons on toolbar buttons. To display text as well as icons on those buttons where text is available, choose View > Toolbars > Display Icons and Text.
To remove text from toolbar buttons, choose View > Toolbars > Display Icons Only.
Removing toolbar buttons
To remove a button from the toolbar:
1 Choose View > Toolbars > Customize Toolbars.
2 Drag the button from the toolbar to the "Buttons" field on the Customize Toolbars form.
You do not need to go to the category that contains this button.
To remove a spacer, drag it from the toolbar to the "Spacer" field.
Resetting toolbars to the default
To reset the active window's toolbar to the shipped default, choose View > Toolbars > Reset Toolbar.
This affects all toolbars of the same type.
About the editing toolbars
FirstClass normally displays editing toolbars when an editable message or document is open. These bars consist of an edit bar that contains controls for formatting contents, and a ruler that shows margins, indents, and tab stops. You can work with the buttons on the edit bar just as you can with the buttons on other toolbars.
To hide the edit bar, choose View > Toolbars > Hide Edit Bar. To show this bar again, choose View > Toolbars > Show Edit Bar.
To hide the ruler, choose View > Toolbars > Hide Ruler. To show the ruler again, choose View > Toolbars > Show Ruler.
