You can customize your toolbar so that it holds buttons that you
frequently use. In this article, we'll show you the toolbar icons
that we use most frequently and also show you how to customize the
toolbar.
Customize your toolbar...
Go to Tools > Customize. You can now drag icons off your toolbars
if you want to get rid of them, or go through the various commands
and drag them into your toolbars.
Below is a discussion of the various toolbar commands that we
find most useful.
 |
New page, folder, web, or more.
If you click once on the icon, a new blank page will be
created. If you click on the arrow, you can select from
creating a new web, folder, or other options.
|
 |
Open.
Clicking on the button allows you to open an existing file.
If you click on the arrow, you can choose to open a web folder.
|
|
Save.
This button saves your page.
|
 |
Find.
This button brings up a window that lets you search for
text in your webpage. There are also tabs for Replacing text
or finding HTML tags. Replace is a useful command if you want to replace a
misspelled word or phrase that shows up multiple times in
your web page -- or even your whole web site!
|
 |
Publish web.
This icon allows you to quickly go to the Publish Web
dialog.
|
 |
Preview in browser.
This button allows you to preview your page in a
browser. This is a VERY important button!
|
 |
Cut.
This button "cuts" your selected content out of the page
and stores it in your computer's memory so that you can
paste it in a different area in the page. (While this button
is useful, we actually prefer to use the keyboard short cut
Ctrl-X. You can also click and hold on your selected objects
and drag them to the place you want to move them to.)
|
 |
Copy.
This button "copies" your selected content and stores it
in your computer's memory so that you can paste it in a
different area in the page. (As with "Cut," we like to use
the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-C.)
|
 |
Paste.
After cutting or copying your content, you can use this
command to put your content into a different area of the
page. (Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl-V.)
|
 |
Undo.
Very useful command (keyboard shortcut is Ctrl-Z) if
you've made a mistake! Clicking on the icon will take you
back one step. Clicking on the arrow will actually show you
a list of commands that you've made and allow you to "step
back" as many steps as you want.
|
 |
Insert Table.
This is a quick short-cut for inserting a table on your
page (where your cursor is). If you go to Table > Insert >
Table, you will have more control over the specific aspects
of your table, but this is a quicker way to get a table on
your page.
|
 |
Insert Picture from file.
This quickly brings you to the "insert picture from
file" dialog box.
|
 |
Insert Hyperlink.
This brings you to the "insert hyperlink" dialog box.
|
 |
Refresh.
This is useful if you've imported files or replaced
files. You can also refresh your folder list or navigation
view, because sometimes FrontPage will not display the
changes you've made.
|
 |
Stop.
This is useful if you're working live off your server,
and something is taking too long.
|

Standard toolbar.
The many features of this toolbar are described above.

Formatting toolbar.
Many useful tools and shortcuts are on this toolbar for font and
paragraph formatting.

command to change all "Pixellmill" to "PixelMill."
