Using Toolbars

Toolbars in LibreOffice can be either docked as part of the main window, or floating as a separate window. By default, the visible toolbars and the ones you open with View – Toolbars are docked, and their positions are locked.

Some toolbar icons, for example the Font Color icon, can open another toolbar. Click the arrow next to the icon to open a toolbar containing further icons.

You now have a choice: either click the icon that you want to activate, or seize the toolbar by its title bar and drag it while holding down the mouse button.

Contexto das barras de ferramentas

Algunhas barras de ferramentas ábrense automaticamente dependendo do contexto. Por exemplo, cando preme dentro dunha táboa nun documento de texto, ábrese a barra de ferramentas Táboa, ou cando preme dentro dun parágrafo numerado, ábrese a barra de ferramentas Viñetas e numeración.

Pechar barras de ferramentas temporalmente

Click the icon in the toolbar's title bar, or choose Close Toolbar from the context menu. The toolbar will be shown automatically again when the context becomes active again.

Pechar barras de ferramentas permanentemente

While the toolbar is visible, choose View – Toolbars and click the name of the toolbar to remove the check mark.

To Show a Closed Toolbar

• Choose View – Toolbars and click the name of the toolbar.

• Choose View – Toolbars – Reset to reset the toolbars to their default context sensitive behavior. Now some toolbars will be shown automatically, dependent on the context.

To Unlock a Docked Toolbar

Right-click the toolbar and choose Lock Toolbar Position from the context menu so that it is unchecked. A small vertical handle appears at the start of an unlocked toolbar, which you can use to move the toolbar.

To Lock a Docked Toolbar

You can lock the position of a toolbar by choosing Lock Toolbar Position again from the context menu, so that it is checked.

To Make a Toolbar a Floating Toolbar

Click the toolbar handle and drag the toolbar into the document.

To Reattach a Floating Toolbar

• Arrastre a barra de título da barra de ferramentas ata un bordo da xanela.

• Para anexar novamente unha xanela flotante, arrastre e solte a barra de título ata o bordo da xanela do documento. O apuntador do rato debe estar ben próximo ao bordo da xanela ao soltar o botón.

• Depending on your system's window manager settings, you may also double-click an empty place on the toolbar or window, while holding down the key. Or double-click the title bar of the floating toolbar or window.
