Q50287 What is Toolbar.

Answer

An active PowerPoint window has:

Title Bar

It displays which application package is running and name of the PowerPoint file currently open.

Menu Bar: It is the conventional Windows style drop down menu. If you click on any of the option available on the Menu bar, it displays the commands available under that menu. Alternatively, this menu can also be activated by pressing the access keys from the keyboard e.g. Alt + F to activate the File menu, Alt + E to activate the Edit menu, Alt + V to activate the View menu, and so on. This represents that these commands have further sub-commands. (Please note that Adobe PDF menu shown below will only come if you have already installed Adobe Reader Professional)

Status Bar: Normally, it is the last line on the screen and displays the current slide number, and the design template being used.
