Modifying existing toolbars
To modify an existing toolbar:
1) In the Save In drop-down list, choose whether to save this changed toolbar for the
application (for example, Writer) or for a selected document.
2) In the section LibreOffice [name of the program (example: Writer)] > Toolbars, select
from the Toolbar drop-down list the toolbar that you want to customize.
3) Click on the Toolbar or Modify buttons, and add commands to a toolbar by clicking on the
Add button. You can also create a new toolbar by clicking on the New button. These
actions are described in the following sections.
4) When you have finished making all your changes, click OK to save them.
Creating a new toolbar
To create a new toolbar:
1) Choose Tools > Customize > Toolbars from the menu bar.
2) Click New. On the Name dialog, type the new toolbar's name and choose from the Save In
drop-down list where to save this changed menu: for the application (for example, Writer) or
for a selected document. Click OK.
The new toolbar now appears on the list of toolbars in the Customize dialog. After creating a new
toolbar, you need to add some commands to it, as described below.
Adding a command to a toolbar
If the list of available buttons for a toolbar does not include all the commands you want on that
toolbar, you can add commands. When you create a new toolbar, you need to add commands to it.
1) On the Toolbars page of the Customize dialog, select the toolbar in the Toolbar list and click
the Add button in the Toolbar Content section of the dialog.
2) The Add Commands dialog is the same as for adding commands to menus (Figure 344).
Select a category and then the command, and click Add. The dialog remains open, so you
can select several commands. When you have finished adding commands, click Close. If
you insert an item which does not have an associated icon, the toolbar will display the full
name of the item: the next section describes how to choose an icon for a toolbar command.
3) Back on the Customize dialog, you can use the up and down arrow buttons to arrange the
commands in your preferred sequence.
4) When you have finished making changes, click OK to save.
