1). Choose: View, Toolbars from the menu bar

2). Choose: a toolbar from the menu

Note: The Toolbars that are turned on have a check mark to the left and those that are turned off do not have a checkmark.

 

Tip: if you place your mouse pointer over the buttons on a toolbar one at a time, a screen tip will display the name of the button.

Example: when your mouse hovers over the copy button, the word Copy appears on the screen.

 

Tip: when using the Menu bar, the toolbar button and keyboard shortcuts are displayed on the screen

Example: click on Edit in the menu bar and the Copy option has an icon to the left that matches the button on the toolbar for the Copy function and to the right of Copy is Ctrl+C, the keyboard shortcut for Copy.
