Publication date and software version

Published May 2024. Based on LibreOffice 24.2 Community.Other versions of LibreOffice may differ in appearance and functionality.

Introduction

In Impress several toolbars are available for creating a presentation. Each toolbar has a default set of tools and an option to add additional tools to a toolbar.

The icons displayed on the Impress toolbars illustrated in this appendix may differ from what is displayed on a computer screen. Toolbar icons depend on the computer operating system being used and how LibreOffice has been set up. For more information on customizing LibreOffice and the toolbars, see the Getting Started Guide.

Some toolbars when selected do not display until an object of the correct type is selected in a presentation. For example, the Image toolbar only displays when an image, or graphic, using an image file format is selected.

Using toolbars

Displaying toolbars

Two methods of opening toolbars in Impress are used, as follows:

1) Go to View > Toolbars on the Menu bar. A sub-menu opens with an alphabetical list of toolbars available for creating presentations in LibreOffice Impress.

2) Click on a toolbar name to display it and make it active. Active toolbars are indicated by highlighting or a check mark next to the toolbar name, depending on computer setup.

When selecting some tools on a toolbar, a sub-toolbar may open providing more tools to edit an object. For example, clicking on Color in the Image toolbar opens the Color sub‑toolbar to adjust the color settings of an image.

Closing toolbars

To close a toolbar, use one of the following methods:

Moving toolbars

Docked toolbars

By default, some toolbars are docked into position in the Impress main window. For example, the Standard toolbar is docked at the top of the main window. Docked toolbars can be undocked and moved to a new docked position on the main window, or left as a floating toolbar.

1) Move the cursor over the small vertical handle at the left end of the toolbar (highlighted in Figure 1). The cursor changes shape to the moving cursor used for the computer system and setup.

Figure 1: Toolbar moving handles

Toolbar moving handles

2) Click and drag the toolbar to a new location. This can be a new docked position, or a floating toolbar. A hashed border appears around the toolbar indicating the toolbar position as it is dragged.

3) Release the cursor when the required position is reached.

If the small vertical bar is not visible at the left end of a docked toolbar, then the toolbar is locked into position. A docked toolbar must be unlocked before it can be moved to a new position in the Impress main window. See “Locking and unlocking toolbars” on page 1 for more information.

Floating toolbars

1) To move a floating toolbar, click on its title bar and drag it to a new floating location.

2) Release the cursor when the toolbar is in the required position.

A floating toolbar does not have to be positioned on the Impress main window for it to function.

Floating sub-toolbars

Some tools on a toolbar have a triangle ▼ to the right of the tool indicating that more tools are available on a sub-toolbar, for example Basic Shapes on the Drawing toolbar. Sub-toolbars can be turned into floating sub-toolbars and moved into a new position as follows:

1) Move the cursor over the horizontal handle at the top of the sub-toolbar (highlighted in Figure 2). The cursor changes to the moving cursor used for the computer system and setup.

2) Click and drag the sub-toolbar to a new location to create a floating sub-toolbar.

3) Release the cursor when the required position is reached.

Figure 2: Creating floating toolbars

Creating floating toolbars

4) To close the floating sub-toolbar use one of the following methods:

– Right-click on the triangle ▼ in the sub-toolbar title bar and select Close Toolbar from the context menu.

– Click on the X at the right end of the sub-toolbar title bar.

Docking toolbars

To dock a floating toolbar, use one of the following methods:

Locking and unlocking toolbars

Docked toolbars

When a toolbar has been docked into position on the Impress main window, the toolbar can be locked into position preventing the toolbar from becoming a floating toolbar.

Some toolbars cannot be docked or locked into position. This is indicated by the options Dock Toolbar and/or Lock Toolbar Position being grayed out, making the options unavailable.

Using the Lock Toolbars option affects ALL toolbars and sub-toolbars available in all LibreOffice modules.

Locking and unlocking toolbars and sub-toolbars

To prevent toolbars and sub-toolbars from becoming floating toolbars or sub-toolbars, they can be locked. Also, locked toolbars and sub-toolbars can be unlock using the same method below. The Lock Toolbars option is a lock/unlock switch.

1) Save the presentation that is open in Impress, then go to View > Toolbars on the Menu bar and select Lock Toolbars from the sub-menu.

2) Select Restart Now in the Restart LibreOffice dialog that opens to activate the Lock Toolbars option.

3) To unlock toolbars or sub-toolbars to create floating toolbars or sub-toolbars, repeat Steps 1 and 2.

Editing toolbars

When LibreOffice is installed on a computer, a set of toolbars suitable for each LibreOffice component are also installed. Each toolbar has a default set of visible tools. Tools can be added or deleted, and toolbars can be customized.

Adding tools

1) Right-click in a blank area on a toolbar, or click on the triangle ▼ on the right of the toolbar title bar.

2) Select Visible Buttons from the context menu to display a list of available tools.

3) Click on the tool required and the tool appears in the toolbar. The list of available tools closes automatically. If there is a highlight or check mark next to the tool, then that tool is already installed on the toolbar.

When adding tools using Visible Buttons, the tool is added to the toolbar in the same position as the tool appears in the Visible Buttons list. That is, the top tool in Visible Buttons appears at the left end of the toolbar and the bottom tool appears at the right end of the toolbar. Tool positions on a toolbar cannot be changed.

Deleting tools

1) Right-click in a blank area on a toolbar, or click on the triangle ▼ on the right of the toolbar title bar.

2) Select Visible Buttons from the context menu to display a list of available tools.

3) Click on the tool no longer required and the tool is removed from the toolbar. The highlight or check mark next to the tool is also removed. The list of available tools closes automatically.

Customizing toolbars

Extra tools and commands that are not available in Visible Buttons can be added to a toolbar using customization. Customization also allows the creation of new toolbars if a specific set of tools are required for a specific task. For information on customizing toolbars, see the Getting Started Guide.

The Redaction toolbar (Figure 26) is used to block portions of a drawing when protecting sensitive information. Redaction helps enterprises and organizations to comply with regulations on confidentiality or privacy.

When a redacted drawing is exported, any redacted portions are removed from the drawing and replaced by redaction blocks of pixels. This prevents any attempt in restoring or copying the original contents. A redacted drawing is often exported as PDF for publication or sharing.
