<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> User interface: Classic menus |
If, in the settings, you have selected that you would prefer to use Classic menus instead of the Ribbon interface, the upper area of the program window will look like this on your device:
Classic menus with toolbars
The menu bar
The Menu bar is found directly under the title bar.
It contains all of PlanMaker's commands in the form of clearly arranged menus. Click on a menu item to open a menu and choose a command.
The Standard toolbar
The Standard toolbar is displayed below the menu bar. It contains icons for PlanMaker's most frequently used commands.
Toolbars such as the Standard toolbar enable quick access to the functions of a program. Each icon represents a specific command. If you click on it, the corresponding command is chosen.
Tip: If you hover the mouse cursor over an icon (without clicking), the program will display a tooltip that describes the icon's function. This requires Show tooltips to have been enabled in the settings.
The Formatting toolbar
The Formatting toolbar can be found below the toolbar. You can use it to both read and change the most common text formatting (font, bold, italics, etc.) for table contents.
If you select a section of text or a cell beforehand, formatting changes will affect only the selected part.
To choose a different font, for example, click on the small arrow to the right of the font name to open the list, and then choose a font.
Other icons in the Formatting toolbar are switches that you can enable and disable by clicking on them – for example, the B for bold.
There are also split buttons, where you can either click on the icon to directly apply the displayed command or use the corresponding small arrow to the right of the icon to open its dropdown menu. This is the case, for example, when choosing the font color.
Additional toolbars
There are additional toolbars in PlanMaker that you can enable and disable as you choose. To do so, either choose the menu command View > Toolbars or right-click on one of the displayed toolbars. You then see a menu in which you can select toolbars that you would like to have displayed.
Customizing toolbars
You can customize the default toolbars to your liking and even create your own toolbars. For more information, see Customizing toolbars.
