Customizing Write > Customizing toolbars > Positioning toolbars on the screen

Only for "classic menus with toolbars": This section is relevant only for users who have configured the program to use the classic menus interface. For information on customizing the ribbon, see Customizing the ribbon.

You can position each toolbar as desired on the screen. To do so, use one of the following procedures:

Changing the position with the command View > Toolbars

You can change the position of a toolbar at any time with the menu command View > Toolbars. To do so, proceed as follows:

1.	Choose the menu command View > Toolbars.

2.	Select the desired toolbar by clicking on it in the list.

3.	Select the desired position for the toolbar in the list Position.

Note: If you select the option Floating, the toolbar icons are displayed in a window that can be freely moved or resized just like an application window.

Changing the position with the toolbar menu

Each toolbar has a button with a double arrow at its right edge. Select the entry Position for the desired toolbar. The following submenu provides a dropdown list of possible positions for the toolbar.

Note: If you have selected the option Floating, you can also use this button to integrate the toolbar back into a desired fixed position via the entry Position entry.

For more information on the toolbar menu options, see Using the toolbar menu.

Changing the position with the mouse

Some toolbars can also be repositioned with the mouse. To do so, proceed as follows:

1.	Position the mouse cursor over an empty area of the toolbar.

2.	Press the left mouse button and hold it down.

3.	While still holding the mouse button down, drag the toolbar to the desired position.

4.	Release the mouse button to place the toolbar in the new position.

Note: By default, most toolbars are locked to prevent unintentional movement with the mouse. However, you can release this lock at any time: To do so, choose the menu command View > Toolbars, select the toolbar and disable the option Locked. From now on, this bar can also be moved with the mouse.

By the way, a positioning aid is enabled while dragging a toolbar: If you drag the toolbar near one of the edges of the program window, it automatically jumps to the corresponding edge. If, for example, you release the bar at the top edge, this corresponds to selecting the Top position in the dialog box of the menu command View > Toolbars.
