The ChemFinder Toolbars<br />

ChemFinder uses several toolbars to create and<br />

manipulate the ChemFinder form and the database<br />

records it displays. Toolbars are normally docked at<br />

the top and left side of the GUI, but they can be<br />

“torn off ” and placed anywhere on the screen for<br />

your convenience. Which toolbars are visible is set<br />

in the Toolbars submenu of the View menu. You<br />

can also use the Toolbars submenu to customize the<br />

toolbars. A description of toolbar customization is<br />

beyond the scope of this manual. (See Microsoft<br />

help for information on customizing toolbars.)<br />

To select which toolbars are visible, choose<br />

Toolbars from the View menu, and check or<br />

uncheck the appropriate boxes.<br />

Main Toolbar<br />

The Main Toolbar contains the standard tools you<br />

find in most modern applications: New, Open, and<br />

Save; Cut, Copy, and Paste; Undo and Redo; Print<br />

and Help.<br />
