Below each of these groups, is a submenu of actions. Some of these submenus will have sub menus of their own.</para> <para>The tool bars are also organized into groups. Each toolbar consists of a set of buttons. Each button performs a specific function. The toolbars are designed to act as shortcuts for more commonly used functions.</para> <para>The first part of this section of the manual discusses the manipulation of &kword;'s toolbars to suit your needs.</para> <para>The second part of this section, takes a detailed look at each menubar function, and each standard toolbar button, and provides you with a brief summary of its action.
