Customizing toolbars

There are some buttons which are not present in the standard formatting toolbar.
For example the ‘subscript’ and ‘superscript’ buttons are much needed, so you can place these buttons on the toolbar.

• Click the right mouse button anywhere on an empty space in the toolbar
  (A shortcut menu appears, listing all available toolbars, click on the name of a tool bar to make it visible or invisible)
• select “Customize”

• In the “Toolbars” tab click on the ‘Format’  category

• You will find the ‘subscript’ and ‘superscript’ buttons here.
• click on the button and drag with the left mouse button on to the toolbar

If you have no space lavailable on your toolbar, you can delete some rarely used buttons to insert the ones which you frequently use.
You can do that by clicking on the button and by dragging it back to working window in the “Customize”  dialog box

AFTER:

In the above example, we have attached the ‘superscript’ and ‘subscript’ buttons.
