# Chapter 11. The Menu Items/Tool Bars

# 11.1. Introduction to Menu Bars and Tool Bars

The key to getting the most out of KWord, is found in the menu bars and the toolbars.

The menu bar is organized into groups of functions (ex file functions, table functions, etc...). Below each of these groups, is a submenu of actions. Some of these submenues will have sub menues of their own. All of the functions of KWord can be found inside the menu bar hierarchy.

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.

The first part of this section of the manual discusses the manipulation of Kword's toolbars to suit your needs.

The second part of this section, takes a detailed look at each menu bar function, and each tool bar button, and provides you with a brief summary of its action. Most of these menu bar functions and tool bar buttons also provide you with a link to more detailed information.
