The Tool Bar

The tool bar is made up of frequently used commands in a program, a shortcut of sorts to the heading listed on the menu bar. It is located just below the menu bar and has little pictures, also known as Icons, showing what each task does. The icons can be different in different software programs, but we will explore what the ones in Microsoft Works do.
